Creating A Garden For Butterflies
Clip: Season 18 Episode 3 | 7m 17s
In rural Spring Green, viewers learn to create a garden that will attract butterflies.
Ina Lukas, one of the owners of the Blooming Valley Nursery, shows how to create a habitat for butterflies. Providing food, water and shelter is the key. Plants of the milkweed genus, verbena bonariensis and butterfly bush serve as sources of food, while trees and grasses protect butterflies from extreme heat and sun during "roosting," the rest period that lasts for up to 14 hours each day.
