Plants: Garden (20'x15') is a work in progress as this is my first spring /summer here. I have 2 butterfly bushes, many nectar plants & 2 milkweeds...common & marsh. I also have about 20 milkweed seedlings I am growing to share next year. Next year the areas covered in cardboard & mulch (to kill the grass) will be a combination of ground covers, wild violets, primrose & other nectar plants. You can also see (to the right of the purple ladder) is a "bug hotel" I built to encourage bugs to my garden. I also have a couple of hummingbird feeders. Even tho' I have just started my garden the last few weeks I have had bees, hummingbirds and monarchs come visit!

Contains nectar sources: Has plants with nectar sources
