Gardening with Butterflies
Beautiful butterflies can be such an asset to our gardens. Let’s learn how we can provide plant habitat for these butterflies & learn more about the many species in Missouri.
Additional Information
Butterfly populations are declining. We can make a difference in our own backyards by encouraging our winged friends to come and visit and continue their life cycles, therefore increasing the population. We can provide habitat, food, and the right plants for our butterflies by identifying the individual species and their specific needs. We can garden with flowers, veggies, herbs, & butterflies!
Restrictions:
Availability: Anytime BUT limited daytime availability during months of March through June (I work at a Garden Center)

Lu has been a lifelong garden enthusiast, starting in the family’s vegetable gardens on the farm, and continuing with growing natives, annuals, perennials, & herbs in her gardens today. And she has many houseplants! She tries to encourage the wildlife to visit by providing micro-habitats in her gardens. Lu also loves to create and incorporate “whimsy” in her gardens for that fun factor. During the spring, she can be found working in a local garden center and assisting friends, neighbors, and her HOA with gardening tasks.
