Imagine the first day of Summer. The sun is shining and flowers are in bloom. Today, you’ll learn about one more thing that’s colorful and free — beautiful nature, in the form of birds and butterflies taking wing.
Here’s how to make your garden a hangout for these colorful creatures: To start a Disney-quality gathering of birds, create a shallow bird bath, with a drip tube attached to a hose that will keep it fresh and continually replenished. Add a nearby mix of seeds like millet and sunflower and bright, colorful blooms, like zinnias. Then, watch birds of a feather flock together.
Want hummingbirds? Red or orange says “nectar here”. To attract butterflies, leave out a slice of melon, especially near a clay pot saucer with moist stones.
