Native Butterfly Garden

We believe in being good stewards of our precious earth! I have maintained an elaborate S. Florida Native Butterfly Garden for six years. Many people ask how they too can attract these miraculous creatures, so this page is dedicated to them! Below is a partial table of some of the wonderful delights that can be found in my Garden, and yours too if you live nearby.

This is under construction, but will be complete soon!
