“Dr. Navtej Kohli has taken up a new hobby”- that is what my neighbors feel. But for me it is more than just a hobby, my winged friends have taught me a thing or two about life.I personally feel butterfly gardening has become one of the most interesting hobbies today. Nothing can match up the pleasure that a beautiful butterfly can bring to your garden. To make your garden butterfly-friendly, you can follow some basic tips:

First and foremost, you should know which butterflies are in your area. This can be achieved by spending some time outdoors to get a clearer idea about the species. Reading good books can also help. I’ll try to post some good reading resources.

The butterfly garden should be placed in a sunny location for a few hours, as butterflies like to bask in the sun but they need to be sheltered from the winds. Butterflies need the sun to warm themselves, but they won’t want to feed in an area where they are constantly fighting the wind to stay on the plants. Placing a few flat stones in your garden is a good idea as the butterflies can take a break while warming up.

Butterflies require water just like we do. Keep a water resource handy and have great fun with the most beautiful creation of God!
