Butterfly Gardening: It Works!

Recently, MOSI Outside staff received this letter from a local family:

And we have to tell you - it made our day! The family included these photos too, as further proof. What a wonderful place for them to enjoy along with the butterflies!

Here at MOSI Outside, we give a lot of advice to people interested in starting their own butterfly gardens. We hand out our Quick Start guide, and show people what butterfly eggs and caterpillars look like, and recommend the right Florida-Friendly gardening practices. Many people leave telling us they're definitely going to go home and plant their own butterfly gardens, and we are thrilled when they stop in or contact us to let us know how things are going. Have you been inspired by MOSI's gardens to start your own? We'd love to hear from you! Share on our Facebook page or drop us an email (kristeng@mosi.org), and you just might see your own backyard featured here on our blog!
