How to Attract Bees and Butterflies

Want to bring more bees and butterflies to your garden?

1. Plant the Right Flowers

Choose colorful, nectar-rich flowers like:

• Lavender, Sunflowers, and Bee Balm for bees.

• Milkweed and Butterfly Bush for butterflies.

2. Provide Water

Pollinators need water too!

• Set out a shallow dish with stones or marbles for them to land on.

• Use a small birdbath or sponge for bees to safely drink.

3. Offer Shelter

Create safe places for rest and hiding.

• Add bee houses or small piles of rocks.

• Include flat stones for butterflies to sunbathe.

4. Go Pesticide-Free

Avoid harmful chemicals and go natural:

• Use organic pest control like neem oil or garlic spray.

5. Plant Flowers for All Seasons

Ensure blooms all year round:

• Spring: Crocuses and fruit blossoms.

• Summer: Lavender and sunflowers.

• Fall: Goldenrod and asters.
