Here is the show you want to hear if you are amazed at what is lighting up your garden with LIFE. Anything that moves is what always catches your eye, right? Right now, Butterflies are giving your garden LIFE! This show is from 2015 but is still highly relevant.

This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, Master Gardener Katrina Kirkeby is speaking with fellow MG Helen Wood, an extremely knowledgeable specialist in growing butterfly gardens that attract local native butterflies. The main point is knowing what are host plants for the butterflies you want to attract. Monarchs love milkweed. Gulf Fritillaries love Passion Fruit!

What likes the spring mustard bloom? The Checkered White Butterfly! Helen will let you know what will benefit the kids in your family too. Consider the fact that butterfly gardens are relatively drought tolerant. So important for these years now and to come.
