Making a Butterfly Garden.

Identify the warmest and sunniest location for your butterfly garden. The garden should contain over 30 different kind of nectar plants. Choose a good mix of spring, summer and autumn flowers. Exposed gardens can be improved by planting a hedge of privet, laurel, hawthorn or holly to create a good wind break and nectar too. Avoid conifers.Hedges, ivy and evergreen climbers will provide winter shelter for hibernating butterflies.
