My granddaughter and I have been planting our garden to attract our favorite summer pastime. Butterflies and hummingbirds. We went and bought a supply of plants and she saw a piece of garden art - a red butterfly. I was thinking perfect our feather friends love red. We placed her art in the ground near the hummingbird feeders and this beautiful Monarch. We are still at the debating table as to whether it was a Monarch or a Swallowtail. Either way, we are now in the process of building a butterfly garden. Our Milkweed seeds are germinating, the lilacs and butterfly bushes are in the ground, we are seeding the zinnias and waiting to order our caterpillars! So great to get children involved at such a young age. She's 3 1/2 and loves being in the garden with her gram.
