We enjoy butterfly gardening in our backyard, and designing the landscape to provide food and shelter for a variety of butterflies.
We have a full page dedicated to Butterfly Gardening here on this website, with lots of tips on designing your butterfly garden, and some popular plant selections.
Now that we have transitioned from Spring to early Summer in 2024, we are posting on this page some of the plants and flowers we are growing this year. Enjoy!
