Interestingly enough, stepping stones can play a very important role in your garden and landscape. This is especially true if butterflies are frequent fliers (no pun intended) and if you are planning on putting a butterfly bush in. Even though stepping stones may seem like just a random, cute feature to have in your garden, they can actually play a big part in the overall setting.
Butterflies Use Stepping Stones to Rest
If you’re going to have a butterfly bush somewhere in your garden, then you’re going to need stepping stones as well. What many people don’t know is that butterflies use them as a way to take a break from flying from pretty bush to bush. They also use stepping stones as a safe place to soak up some much needed sunlight.
Stepping Stones Can Add Some Fun to Your Landscape!
If you have kids, and are looking for something fun to do for the summer, creating your own personalized stepping stone area is a great idea. There are many projects online for all the wonderful things you can do with stepping stones. You can paint them with all kinds of wonderful designs or have your kids put their hands on them to make hand prints in the stones. Another idea is to create a stepping stone path to special areas of the yard or even your own built in version of hop scotch where the kids can jump from stone to stone. Use your imagination – or let your kids run wild with ideas.
Stepping Stones Look Great in Your Garden
Stepping stones add a magical look to any garden, especially if they match the colors in your garden. You can place them in so many ways, like from your door to your garden, for example. Or just place them in random places. It’s up to you.
Stepping stones help butterflies flock to your garden to relax, are a great way to spend time with your kids, and look fantastic in any garden.
