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.

Converted my raised vegetable beds to pollinator plants!
For the Love of Butterflies
Mix of wildflowers, milkweed, cosmos, zinnia, to entice monarchs on their journey. A place to enjoy watching the greenery grow and be able to learn more as the times come.
I plant for birds, bees, butterflies, bats, and Beardies!
I removed 3 Capitol Pears (related to Bradford Pears) from alongside my driveway and planted the area with a pollinator garden.
With a focus on Monarchs, I’ve setup a garden dedicated to butterflies and their posterity. Monarchs, Black Swallowtails, Emperor Hackberry butterflies, Painted Ladies, Pearl Crescents, Red Admirals, Question Marks and Hairstreaks visit. With a focus on host plants, I’m hoping to see Giant, Spicebush, and Pipevine Swallowtails, Commas Gulf Fritillary, Variegated Fritillary, Mexican Fritillary, Zebra Longwing and Julias.
