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.

Small backyard Butterfly Garden Feeding stop for migrating monarchs

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!
