Dear Friends and Butterfly Lovers,
I am retired! Cant believe it's been a year already.
It has been an exciting ten years of learning about and breeding butterflies.
It has been my pleasure to provide butterflies and educational kits for all my customers and I thank you for your support and confidence in me over the years.
It was my pleasure to be a part of your efforts to teach children about our pollinators and their life cycles and life lessons. Butterflies have taught us so many things and will continue to be an inspiration in future.
I will continue to provide our pollinators with nectar and host plants in my garden and I encourage you to do the same.
