Our Minnesota Grandma found out our plans for the previous owners sandbox was to turn it in to a butterfly garden. She had previously brought over a few plants for us and then took Makayla and I to a garden center that had all native plants to Minnesota. We both ended up getting a few plants, a few of them attracting butterflies. I also picked up honeysuckle that I planted on the side of the deck, it will climb those metal grates, which are now attached to the deck. Can't wait to see some hummingbirds and it to be filled in for a little bit more privacy.
She also brought Makayla milkweed seeds to plant, which attracts Makayla's favorite butterfly ... the Monarch. She started them in these pods, she put 3-4 in them and they have already started to sprout.
She also planted a mixture of flowers that attracts butterflies, compliments of our Minnesota Grandma again. In the middle is where the milkweeds will be planted.
