It's a project that you and your family will enjoy in planting stages, and long after. There are five basic things to remember when planning a butterfly garden: 1. Butterflies love sunlight! Whether you choose to plant a traditional garden or a container garden, make sure that plants are in direct sunlight for much of day. 2. Butterflies like to "puddle."

Place puddle in center of your garden.
