To attract many butterflies to your garden, you should consider a few things: Plant butterfly-friendly plants that are rich in nectar and serve as a food source. Also, provide them with suitable habitat. Leave some corners of your garden wild and untouched to provide shelter for butterflies for egg-laying, resting, and overwintering. Place shallow bowls of water in your garden for butterflies to drink from. A moist soil or a shallow water dish with a stone in the middle can serve as a watering hole.
