Butterfly Feeder

Butterfly Feeder

Butterflies are one of my most favorite creatures on earth and I’m always looking for ways to encourage them to visit my garden. This wonderful class on making a butterfly feeder is so fun and simple that it’s perfect for all ages. I love to make these with children to teach them about beneficial insects and foster within them a love of nature.
