Butterflies
When we first moved here, at least 10 years ago, I saw a lot of butterflies. I purposely bought a Butterfly Bush, (Buddleia) to attract them. When I became a Master Gardner I learned even more about their struggle. Because of this I decided to focus on building a pollinator garden. I did this by…
