Austin residents can visit one of the most beautiful butterfly gardens in the world at the Zilker Botanical Garden. The Doug Blachly Butterfly Trail and Garden features native plants and special feeders that attract many species of butterflies, including Red Admiral, Hackberry, Silver Emperor, Eastern Black Swallowtail, Question Mark, and, of course, the familiar black and orange Monarch butterflies. Homeowners can recapture that natural beauty at home by creating a private butterfly garden. Austin is home to over eighty different species of butterflies, so a butterfly garden is a simple project that will provide hours of enjoyment for you and your family. A bit of research and a green thumb will allow you to provide a garden that will attract butterflies and caterpillars all summer long.
While each species of butterfly has specific preferences, generally milkweed, pipevine, dill, cabbage, fennel and parsley are good choices to start your butterfly garden, since a variety of butterfly species use these plants as sites for depositing their eggs and as food during their caterpillar stage. Certain trees are attractive to caterpillars as well, including sycamore, willow, aspen, and elm trees; incorporating these into your butterfly garden plan will attract a wider variety of species to your yard.
