Why are pollinators important?
We hear often about the reduced populations of bees and butterflies due to the loss of habitat and the excessive use of pesticides. The problem is that we need these insects to pollinate our plants so that the fruits and vegetables we eat can grow! We can all do our part by creating a safe habitat for these insects!
Specializing in plants that will attract more butterflies, humming birds, and bees to your yard!

Let's Eat!
The monarch caterpillars have one mission and that is to eat as much milkweed as possible! Milkweed is the only plant they eat and one plant is never enough!

Welcome Little One!
The butterfly exits the chrysalis and will hang upside down to dry it's wings. When dry, they will fly off to repeat the cycle!
-
How can you help?
Plant pesticide free milkweed and flowering plants! Milkweed is the only plant that the monarch caterpillars can eat and the adults need flower nectar to fuel migration and reproduction.
