After many years of planting native flowers, bushes, and trees on our almost fifty acres, we made the decision to sell our property to be closer to family and grandchild. That doesn’t mean we are giving up our love for butterflies and butterfly conservation! People can help all the pollinators by planting flowers. People with yards big and small can make a difference!
