We’ve talked about the pollinators in the butterfly house, along with the different host and nectar plants, but we haven’t really discussed the actual structure.

Joey built this butterfly house in early 2020, it features pressure-treated beams, mesh walls that are secured between the beams, and a shade cloth roof supported by cables.

Using transparent material on the entire structure was vital since it allows direct sunlight, a necessity for a butterfly garden.

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
