The Butterfly Garden is located on the south side of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church. The garden has four raised beds, four surrounding beds, and two benches for enjoying the beauty of the garden. The project is a native pollinator garden to attract and support butterflies and bees. The garden is also used for teaching and education, reflection and relaxation, and enjoying the beauty of God’s creation.
Dig in deep to gardening with free books on gardening and wildlife, as well as free wildflower seeds! Located at the Central Park Community Garden in Oklahoma City. This library was made possible from support of the Oklahoma County Conservation District and local artist, Liz Mercer and volunteer, Katie Hawk.
The South side of our coffee shop and along the eastern front is planted in the Johnston Seed Company Friends of the Monarch’s Central Oklahoma Wildflower mix.
Multi year effort to transform yard to native plant habitat
A 200 square feet plot within a larger yard in Suburban Tulsa, OK. It includes syriaca, incarnata, and tuberosa milkweeds along with native plants as nectar sources. Correopsis, monarda, and Helianthus included. Most of the plants are plugs from local nurseries, starting in 2018.
An 8×4 raised flower bed in an urban backyard with milkweed, black eyed Susans, golden rod, lantana, rue, coneflower, ironweed, and coreopsis.
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.
