Creating a Garden for 
Hummingbirds and Butterflies

 
Humming Bird PhotoYour garden can be much more than lovely, serene or a place for family and friends to gather. It can be a bird and butterfly oasis. Creating this haven doesn't take much more than planting the kinds of plants which will attract birds and butterflies. To help get you started we've listed some of the annuals and perennials that will entice these critters into your garden. 
 
Remember that birds need to feel protected before they begin to gather so try centering these plantings near or around groups of established trees and shrubs.
 
Hummingbirds and Butterflies enjoy many of the same features in your garden. Both enjoy flowers for food, shelter from weather, and a place to bask in the sun. Water is another essential -- a hollow in a rock, or a shallow birdbath can provide the needed water and hours of enjoyment to the observer!! Both hummingbirds and butterflies like to fly freely; and will provide aerial shows almost hourly!
 
A well-planned garden with the proper plants and the proper positioning is the secret to luring hummingbirds and butterflies. Even better, it is also practical and attractive.
