Creating a garden with native butterfly/moth host plants that will provide what native butterflies/moths need to complete their life cycle. We are going beyond providing nectar sources with pollinator plants, by planting host plants as a food source for caterpillars. Caterpillars are voracious and very picky eaters, eating only specific host plants. We will be planting these native hosts plants.

Registration: Seating is limited and registration is required
