Advice on a butterfly and bird garden?

I have a raised bed, octagon shaped planterbox. It’s maybe 6 inches tall. The diameter (roughly) is 7 feet. I’d like to put in a birdbath and some bird feeders on poles or sheperds hooks. This would all be waist or eye level. I’d like to also do a butterfly garden for the lower level stuff. Any advice on what to plant to attact birds and butterflies and let them coexist? The spot gets morning through mid afternoon full sun. Probably 6 good hours uninterrupted. I live in MN. Thanks!

Many flowers that attract butterflies will also attract humming birds. I am doing the same thing in my garden and the seeds I bought were: foxglove, zinnia (two types), lupine, and nasturtium (two types).

It also is a journal for you to write in your observations of species found, dates, locations, weather conditions, habitat types, or any other interesting observations (a Life List with detail).Many People are enjoying the new activity of butterfly gardening, This is great. I strongly encourage it. But please dont be deceived into thinking all butterflies will come.

I try to identify these for you in this book and help you find them if you are willing to hunt for them.
