Backyard Dreams: Butterflies A-Plenty

Backyard gardens can be open invitations to all sorts of wildlife. By making a conscious effort to meet their basic needs, you can be sure that lovely butterflies will be close to the top of your guest list. If you wish for them to be more than occasional visitors, consider choosing plants or water sources to furnish amenities that meet their basic needs: food, water, shelter and protection from predators. Fortunately, many of the things they thrive on will also make your garden more desirable for humans as well.

To form a picture of the way your garden might look from a butterfly's-eye-view, do a little research on butterfly habitats to help you to design your garden as it will appear to potential butterfly guests that live in or migrate through your area. Many books about butterflies now include sections about backyard gardens. You don't need to spend a lot to get started or make a few changes. From the viewpoint of wildlife, rare or exotic plants are not necessarily more desirable.

Choosing A Wildlife-Friendly Backyard Garden

You may have already noticed some wildlife in your backyard garden. First, you would be wise to take an inventory of your backyard plants. You need to make a list, try to identify their names and decide which ones are keepers and which ones have to go. Now do some checking to see if any are already butterfly-approved. In most places, butterflies are seen only part of the year, but their life cycles continue all year long. This means that both deciduous and evergreen trees, shrubbery and bushes, and a variety of flowers are important to the overall garden as well. In each category, you will find specimens that serve wildlife. Many are cheap and plentiful and will naturally do well where you live.

As you check around, pay attention to those specimens of each plant which are desirable for butterfly gardens. Both perennial and annual flowers are cost effective ways to add color, increase diversity and appeal to your winged friends. The most versatile additions draw birds and bees and other beneficial insects, which are energetic pollinators that provide a valuable service to fruit trees or a vegetable garden. It's often best to start gradually, by either replacing unwanted plants or adding a few native species or even a wildflower mix to a bare spot. Bringing life to your backyard space can be as effortless as doing what you would do anyway, but making sure that each change has one or more wildlife benefits as well.
