Summarize the following:
As you’re planning your garden, spend a clear day watching the way the sun travels across your yard. Every hour or so, take note of which areas are in the sun, and which are shaded. Then, pick one of the sunniest spots as the location for your garden. Butterflies are cold-blooded, so they require sunlight to warm them up throughout the day. If the butterflies are exposed to high winds, they’ll spend most of their energy just trying not to get blown around. Place your butterfly garden near a wall, a fence, or a wooded area to help them conserve energy so they can eat and lay their eggs. For example, if you have a shed and your area is frequently subjected to cold north winds, you could place your garden on the south side of the shed. The butterflies will have an easier time reaching their food if you arrange your plants from shortest to tallest, almost like stair steps. Place larger bushes and shrubs in the back, with shorter flowers in the very front. If you don’t have room to plant shrubs, try placing an arbor with vines near the back of your garden. Butterflies are pretty small, but they prefer big clumps of flowers. Try to group your flowers together in large masses. The butterflies will be able to see the garden from a distance, and you’ll get more visitors to enjoy. It’s fine to include different, non-butterfly plants in your garden. However, try to keep the flowers close together, as this will make feeding easier for the butterflies. To make the most of your butterfly display, research what time of year each plant will bloom. Then, create sections out of the plants with the same flowering window so you’ll have bright groups of blooms opening at about the same time.  For instance, if some of your plants open in the late spring and others will bloom into the early fall, you could group your spring plants on one side of the garden, and your late-bloomers on the other side. If you have a small garden, you might not need to section it off.
Choose a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Pick a location that’s sheltered from strong wind. Place the shorter plants in front with taller varieties in back. Plant your flowers in large groups. Group flowers that will bloom at the same time.
