Attracting Butterflies

I was amazed to learn how many types of butterflies live amongst us right here in Cincinnati and I plan to encourage them to come to my garden this year! You can attract butterflies not only by planting the right things, but by giving them a place to bask in the sun  and a small puddle to splash in.

Fred Miller and Patty Bigner created an awesome website, Gardens With Wings and it’s packed with butterfly info, not just for Cincinnati but nationally, too.  Plug in your zip code and discover which butterflies live near you. You’ll also discover which plants attract them, and  how to identify them once they’re there.
