the happy gardenertips for everyone who love to dig

By Heather Prince

Attract Butterflies With a Garden

Summer gardens can be ablaze withbutterflies. Creating a butterflygarden can be a wonderful project for

adults and children, but be prepared to offerplants for both adult butterflies and theircaterpillars. You will find that adult butterfliesfeed on a wide array of flowers, but larva aremore particular and only choose certain plants.To attract adults, consider planting flowers inmasses and plan your planting so there areflowers from spring into fall. Some perennialsand annuals that are butterfly magnets includebutterfly bush, purple coneflower, milkweed,verbena, salvia, lantana, Joe-Pye weed, and beebalm. Many of these plants are also attractive tohummingbirds and songbirds.

One important step in creating a butterflygarden is to avoid using insecticides, as manywill kill the caterpillars you are trying toencourage. Many butterflies only have one ortwo host plants. Monarchs will only lay eggson milkweed, pipevine swallowtails only onspecies of Dutchman’s pipe vine and spicebushswallowtail only on spicebush. Otherbutterflies will choose parsley, dill, asters,coreopsis, false indigo, birch, willow, cherry ortulip trees.

These colorful insects like to have sunnyspots to warm their cold blood and a protectedspot where they are not buffeted by strongwinds. Add a resting spot that heats up such asa dark colored rock or boulder. Butterflies needwater, but their delicate bodies prefer a shallowpan of wet sand where they can get moisture,but not drown. A sprinkle of salt in the panmimics minerals found in nature.

Butterflies are just one of our wingedfriends that we welcome to The Growing Place.Please join us for our annual Winging It Day onSaturday, August 11 at our Aurora location onMontgomery Road. Celebrate butterflies, bees,bats and birds with a talks, butterfly hatchinghaven, nature crafts, informative booths, andmore.

Pet TalesBy the Naperville Area Humane Society

Hi, my name is Ashley and I am a four-year-oldshepherd mix. I try to keep smiling everydaythrough good and bad times. Unfortunately, Ihave had a lot of bad times. Back in Indianawhere I am from, I was abandoned and broughtto a shelter. Then I was neglected by the peoplewho adopted me and I was back at the shelter,yet again. I spent some time in a foster homewhere I was attacked by another dog. I madethe long trip up to Naperville where I am lookingfor a fresh start. My scars are healing and I stilllong for a loving, forever home more thananything. I'm a very sweet, gentle girl and I liketo snuggle and give kisses. Please adopt meand give me something to really smile about!
