Observe northern plant

Butterfly gardens are gardens that are planted with specific flowers, herbs and vegetables known to attract butterflies. Planting them will make it more likely that butterflies will be drawn to your garden where you can observe them. In northern California, butterfly gardens need plants that attract butterflies but also plants that can grow in that specific climate.
