Our backyard is about 60% garden right now with lots of pollinator support: pollinator plants, nectar plants, tall grass areas, and shelter areas for creatures of all sizes. But we are not expanding to the front yard. Adding areas with pollinator plants, dry river beds, and shelter areas. Hoping to have the project done by Spring 2024.

We have installed four flower beds. All contain native plants to attract Monarch Butterflies. There is stone path that runs through the garden.

Converted my raised vegetable beds to pollinator plants!
We are a native plant nursery in OKC’s Metro Park neighborhood, half a mile west of downtown. We provide native plant species for native wildlife! Encouraging and educating the public to plant native and provide habitat for insects, birds and increase biodiversity.
In a pasture on our property ( no livestock) we have dedicated a large portion in dedication to our late son.
This area has great sun and water supply.
It is visible to public to see our efforts in helping the Monarchs in Enid, OK.
We purchased pollination seed as well as a large amount of actual seeds from a friends garden.
For the Love of Butterflies
The Oklahoma Alliance for Geographic Education (OKAGE) located at the University of Oklahoma in Norman partnered with Asher Public School to create a dark sky – friendly pollinator garden. During the Spring 2023 semester, Asher Public School’s fourth grade students have learned about the impacts of light pollution on pollinators and bird and monarch butterfly migration through Oklahoma. This garden was sited not only where the plants will receive adequate sunlight during the day, but equally importantly, enough darkness at night.
