Butterfly Houses

Butterfly houses can give your garden a true sense of wonder by attracting butterflies and giving them a place to nest.

Placing a butterfly house near a nectar source, namely your beautiful flower garden is the perfect way to attract a host of different butterfly species. These simple boxes are often painted with flower like patterns to further attract its would-be tenants.

Butterfly houses are different than bird houses, in that they are mostly used later in the season. It is generally recommended that tree bark or another substance is used inside as cover. This heightens its appeal as a place for butterflies to hibernate for the winter and, in turn, fill your garden the following year.
