Introducing: Butterfly Grandma: Critters!
Picture

My hopes and ambitions are to help you discover delightful days in nature by building a simple garden filled with natural blooms, attractive to butterflies and pollinators alike, and use the magical relationship between children (of all ages) and butterflies to help reduce their habitat crisis and increase the survival rate for these wondrous creatures.

While Butterfly Grandma's first projects were all about native wild flower gardens, it became obvious very quickly that I could both naturalize and beautify the local landscape and make a real contribution to restoring the population of butterflies. ​

By some accounts, monarch populations have decreased by 90%. How exciting to think that with just a small part of your yard, a few beautiful native plants, and a helpful hand, you can actually dramatically increase butterfly populations....and did I mention having a summer of fun too? click the button below for more information. ​
