Planting Herbs and Flowers in your garden is great for the bees and butterfly's as well as for yourself.
I have always included Herbs and Flowers in my garden not only
for their culinary value but also for the beauty of it.
There is something magical about butterflies zooming around the garden.
The bees, butterfly's and other beneficial bugs they attract to the garden pollinate your
vegetables and fruits and can make a difference of a good crop and an excellent crop.
My vegetable harvests are always more abundant when i mix in the flowers and herbs.

Choose an area where you will be spending the most time in the garden to plant
your herbs and flowers. Such as near your greenhouse entrance or near a favorite shade tree
or table you visit for lunch.
Zinnia flowers are easy to grow and butterfly's love them.
Rosemary and Thyme are a good choice along with cilantro when these go
to seed they produce tiny flowers that the bees and butterflies enjoy.

Our local beekeeper advised me to pland blue and purple flowers to assist his bees, apparently they can find them easily. I have lovely lavender around in pots now and believe there has been an increase.
