Make a lovely Butterfly Puddle on your Patch with our Create A Butterfly Puddle guide!

Stuff you'll need:

  • A shallow dish or saucer.
  • Gravel and small stones, sand and/or soil.

 

Step-by-step guide

  1. Fill the dish with a mixture of gravel and small stones, sand and/or soil.
  2. Add enough water to saturate the soil/sand but ensure that not all of the gravel and stones are underwater.
  3. Leave near plants that butterflies like, such as English lavender or common honeysuckle.
