The Butterflies Need Your Help!

Happy new year to our happy garden-loving readers!

We apologize for our brief hiatus, but we were busy hawking Peace Lilies for the holidays and making our big plans for the South Pointe Elementary Butterfly Garden!

That's right- we have been teaming up with some green-thumbed SPE parents to design and develop a fabulous butterfly garden that will be filled with beautiful, low-maintenance, Florida native plants- that will also act as a buffer around our organic edible garden- which by the way, is doing quite amazingly! We encourage you to have a gander at the next drop-off, or pick-up. It's really quite a bounty that we are so so proud of.

As you all know, "it takes a village", so on that note- we want to thank everyone who have made our garden what it is today. All the time, love (and weeding!) is what truly makes our garden grow. Following suit, we would like to put an open call to anyone interested in helping us get the new butterfly garden installed.

Here is our open call:


Come all gardeners - tall and short, large and small, green-thumbed and all thumbs!  We're installing the butterfly garden this Wednesday January 11th, and we need your help!  Join us to raise arbors and plant butterfly-attracting plants around the Organic Edible Garden.  
All children are welcome with their parents or caregivers.  See you at the garden!
See Catherine Prescott upon arrival and get digging!  Questions? Email us! Subject: Butterfly
