Instead of lamenting the absurdity of the world let us try to transform the corner of it into which we were born. - Andre Maurois

While it may not be possible for us as individuals to save the entire world, we can do some things to improve our little corner of it
- our own property and our neighborhoods.

One way we can do this is to grow plants on our property that are native to our region. This will help our ecosystem by providing quality food and shelter to local wildlife, including butterflies.

If you are new to butterfly gardening, I suggest you start reading the articles in my 'Articles' section, such as the Introduction article.

If you already have some knowledge of butterfly gardening, you may want to start looking at the pages set up for individual butterfly and plant species.

The butterfly season getting ready to start up again where I live! I'm definitely excited about it this year but I have a least one complication this time. We have a puppy! We fenced in our yard for her, but then quickly realized she would destroy my butterfly garden in no time. So now we are putting up some cheap short fencing to protect my plants from her.

It may be difficult for me to get to some parts of the garden this year to check for caterpillars or replace plants that didn't make it through the winter, but we shall see how it goes.

I've updated some pages on this site recently also, but I still have a lot to do. There are many more nectar plants that I have now that I don't yet have a page for. I also need to add more to the articles section.

Need ideas for unique gifts? Or want to be more eco-friendly? I have a Cafepress store featuring my butterfly photography including canvas tote bags that are make great reusable grocery bags!

See more great gift ideas here: clothing, mugs, magnets, tote bags and more! They all make great gifts - but my favorite are the framed tiles!
