Explanation:
School butterfly gardens have exploded in popularity over the past decade. Some of them have had great success, while others are missing out on the butterfly garden party.
There are a lot of basic guides floating around the internet, but most of them don’t stop to consider important questions that could change the entire directionof your school butterfly garden plan.
I recently came across an article by author and butterfly gardener ‘Tom Terrific’ that I believe could benefit all teachers, administrators, and students before digging into their butterfly garden adventures.
1. Choose One, Attract Many- Find out which butterflies are most common in your region and when? Focus on attracting those one or two species and add plants to attract others later on. You’ll be happy to know that focusing on one species will bring lots of bonus butterflies to your school.
2. Low Maintenance Plants- Unless you have students, parents, or teachers willing to tend the garden on an ongoing basis, don’t choose plants that require close monitoring or care. You’ll miss out on some great options if you go for a “no maintenance” garden, but that’s a choice every school needs to make based on its own unique circumstances.
3. A Responsible Adult- While kids may have the best intentions, they can be easily distracted. One adult should be regularly monitoring the garden to ensure its survival.
4. Fall Plant Focus- Butterfly season is in full swing across most of North America when school begins in September, and the magical monarch migration is just beginning.
6. Water Well- Most plants and seedlings require more water at the beginning of the season while their roots get acclimated.
7. Mulching Today, Keeps Tomorrow’s Weeds Away- …it also helps the soil around your plants retain moisture!
Answer:
Butterfly gardening is designed to create an environment that attracts butterflies, as well as certain moths. Butterfly gardening is often aimed at inviting those butterflies and moths to lay eggs as well. Because some plants are not fed upon by adult butterflies, thecaterpillar host should also be planted for a bigger population of butterflies. Butterflies typically feed on the nectar of flowers, and there are hundreds of such plants that may be planted to attract them, depending on the location, time of year, and other factors. In addition to the planting of flowers that feed butterflies, other means of attracting them include constructing "butterfly houses", providing sand for puddling, water, and other resources or food items, including rotten fruit.
