Learn How to Start a Butterfly Garden

September 3, 2014 by Jeanne

Learn how to start a butterfly garden. I give a free butterfly gardening talk to local garden clubs or you can watch it online.

I’ll be the guest speaker tomorrow at the Prince Edward County Extension Office as part of the Heart of Virginia Master Gardeners Lunch & Learn Series! I’ll be sharing information on how to start a butterfly garden.  The talk begins at noon and it’s free. The Extension office is in the building directly across the street from Lowe’s in Farmville.

Show and tell, lots of pretty pictures, and me yakking away. How can you pass up that opportunity, I ask you?

If you do miss it, or you live too far away to come, the presentation is available on my Free Resources page.

    How did I miss your blog before! I LOVE to garden but am a complete newbie. I am more the visionary but do enjoy getting my hands in the dirt. Our gardens are a work in progress and my husband hopes to have it qualify for a local Horticultural Society garden tour in the next few years!
