not only are butterfly gardens pretty to look at, but you are also making a difference! monarch butterfly populations are DROPPING! The butterfly garden provides shelter for thebutterflies during severe weather.

@xXSauronXx2992 You might have had a lot of salt on your skin and butterflies need salt too.

Butterflies love my lantanas.

Cute video, but you made some questionable statements. Providing leafy shrubs is beneficial to shelter grown butterflies, but caterpillars need host plants. You can't assume they'll eat anything. Also, butterflies don't gather pollen from flowers, they gather nectar. That should be pretty obvious.
