Make sure that your garden is located in a way that provides six hours of sunlight a day as a minimum. Butterflies like it more hwere they are warm and sheltered, as they are coldblooded creatures.
As wind is the butterflies worst enemy, consider plenty of wind protection in your butterfly garden design as well. Tall shrubs or other plants arranged in a way to create a wind break will protect them and give them shelter. Although a location that avoids heavy winds is even better.
Most desirable the butterfly garden would be located on the sunny side of the home with windbreaks on west and east sides or wherever the dominating winds come from in your area. To be able to view the butterflies lingering in your garden from indoors, try to locate it close to a window. Consider to provide some seating outside as well.
In addition and if possible, you can excavate an area in your garden and build a stone wall around it which could make a ideal shelterbelt for your butterflies. To prevent walking in mud also think of gravel or crushed rock pathways around your garden.
