What if there are no butterflies around?

Give it time! Butterflies may take a while to find your station, especially if it's their first time visiting your garden.Now you’re ready to create your very own Pool Noodle Butterfly Nectar Station! Gather your supplies, let your creativity soar, and enjoy watching butterflies visit your delightful creation.
