Butterfly Garden

Native plants to attract, feed, and host butterflies, bees, and other pollinators

Picture
The plants in the beds near the picnic area have all been selected to attract birds, insects and butterflies.  Most of these are nectar plants.  In addition attracting bees and butterflies, many of these plants are somewhat deer and drought resistant.
