Butterfly Garden Work Site

The above "tree" with buds of green, is actually an invasive Honeysuckle, 

and will be removed by one of our volunteers this weekend.  When choosing plants,

it is important to choose the right plant for your site

and remove plants that will take over the scape of your project.

The existing space we have to work with is approximately 1200 square feet

(20'x70')

However...if you are planning a butterfly garden, you can attract butterflies on a patio or small space in a pots of your choice plants.  Just know your space, and plan, plan, plan.

Many weeds need to be removed by hand, and existing plants transplanted

for larger groupings.  Before plants are added, a watering system, soaker hose, or drip irrigation will be installed.  Research is still being done, donations being asked for and accepted.

The work begins.
