Easy, huh? You can get into other butterfly gardening techniques later, if you wish to try your hand, but these simple steps will bring butterflies to your garden. Don't expect to have a flurry of butterflies buzzing about. That is not going to happen. You will find that as your garden matures and you add plants here and there, season after season, you will see new butterflies coming and more frequently. Don't forget to provide plants for each season, unless you live in the north where you would not expect to have butterflies in the winter.
