Brenda Dziedzic 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2012 It is very important to help our ecosystem. I have been trying to do my part by giving talks on Butterfly Gardening, starting a Butterfly Group, and by writing the book "Learn About Butterflies in the Garden". Birds, amphibians, beneficial insects, and other wildlife also benefit from planting for butterflies. I am going to open "Brenda's Butterfly Habitat". It will be at Barson's Greenhouse, 6414 Merriman Road, Westland, MI 48185. I plan on opening it June 1st. This will have only the butterflies that are native to this area. The whole life cycle will be able to be witnessed because the habitat will include the host plants of each butterfly. There will be no fee for admittance. Donations will be accepted and used for maintenance. Here is the progress of Brenda's Butterfly Habitat so far. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele A 2 Report post Posted March 3, 2012 This looks awesome. Is this the loca book that has good pictures of the caterpillar and the butterfly/moth? I attended a meeting at Telly's where a local writer's book was brought out, but I lost the name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
