Butterfly House

Here’s a real conversation piece for your garden. In fact, your friends will be full of questions about this whimsical butterfly house and how to make their own.

Over the years, our magazines have received a lot of mail about butterfly houses. Do they really work? How do you attract butterflies to them? What should be placed inside?

So we set out to do our own research on these “flying flower” abodes to find some answers. As of yet, we have not been able to confirm that garden-variety butterflies will actually take up residence in these popular butterfly houses.

But don’t let that discourage you from making this project. We’re fairly certain placing a butterfly house in your garden will attract quite a few comments and generate lots of interest, even if it doesn’t really attract butterflies.
