Keeping Up With the Triangle-Garden.....

Transforming our garden into a critical Butterfly Waystation!!

Our local Triangle Garden has become a critical resource for migrating butterflies and pollinators.

This garden has evolved over the years, as we continue to fine-tune
the selection of plants available to attract our local bees and butterflies.

Each year, we seek out monarch eggs within our gardens and grow them in our homes,
in an effort to protect them and ensure they make it to adulthood.

30 butterflies released into our skies!!
Every year, we try to do better!!
