Many insects, especially butterflies, require warmth and shelter, and these conditions are met by siting your garden on a south facing slope or adjacent to a south facing wall, building, fence or hedge (if sited by a hedge, leave a one metre gap for hedge trimming).  >
As with most gardens, consider where your nearest source of water is for watering the plants in hot periods. This type of garden can be semi-formal in design and may be suitable as a showpiece for visitors.
