Dragonflies are interesting creatures to watch as they cycle from eggs to young. The adults typically lay their eggs in water and wait for the larvae to hatch. Once the larvae have emerged, the adults will feed them until they reach maturity and can fly out of the water.
A garden should provide variety of plants and habitats for dragonflies. Dragonflies will enjoy a garden with plenty of tall grasses and flowers that provide cover from predators. The garden also needs areas with open water in which to fly. Common plants that can be used in a dragonfly friendly garden are lilies, dahlias, cosmos, foxgloves and irises.
Some simple ways to decorate your garden to attract butterflies include: - creating a Habitat area with patches of different types of wildflowers, including milkweed and monarchs; - adding a few ponds or streams to your garden for aquatic insects and frogs; - using drought tolerant plants in your landscape, like Indian Ladysplants or Creeping Thyme; - providing nectar sources like fruit trees or shrubs with generous amounts of pollen; - planting antioxidant profiting plants like Lavender, Chamomile, Blessed Basil or Honeysuckle near where you want to see more butterflies.
There is no one correct way to garden. Everyone's garden is different, with its own personality. That's why we have so many different kinds of garden art. Some pieces are rustic and natural, like stonehenges or a piled up mound of dirt. Others are playful and whimsical, like a brightly coloured birdhouse or a shady tree. Whatever your style, you can find the perfect piece of garden art to express your personality and contribute to the ambiance of your garden.
