Join The NABA Butterfly
Garden Certification Program
____________________________________
To join the North American Butterfly Association Butterfly Garden Certification Program, you need to create of modify your existing garden to meet the following requirements:
At least three different native caterpillar host plants must be grown, preferably more than one plant of each selected species.
At least three different native butterfly nectar sources must be grown, preferable more than one plant of each selected species.
The use of pesticides is discouraged. Pesticides can kill butterflies as well as other important pollinators.
A butterfly garden supplies food and shelter for all stages of a butterfly's life. Providing caterpillar food plants, butterfly nectar plants and about half a day's worth of sun are the basic elements of a butterfly garden.
When you certify your butterfly garden with the NABA's Butterfly Garden Certification Program you demonstrate your commitment to promoting a habitat for butterflies as well as other pollinators.
Purchase all four of our Butterfly Habitat Kits, plant the seeds, and become eligible to certify your Butterfly Garden!
