Please join us on Sunday, September 22 at 1 pm for a tour of the Butterfly Alley native plant demonstration garden hosted by owner Carrie Krier.

In Carrie's words: "Butterfly Alley is a native plant demonstration garden that was created because of our love for butterflies. It contains as many native host and nectar plants in a residential garden as we could squeeze in. It’s always evolving. Please stop in. Success is measured in caterpillars!"

In addition to the garden tour, Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay President Marlene Smith will introduce you to the basic seed structures of native plants. Supplies for collecting seeds will be available, but if you can, please bring paper bags such as lunch bags, scissors or garden snips, and markers or pens.

But that's not all! Carrie has graciously offered that we can collect native plant seeds following the tour, and native plants will be available for purchase. Butterfly Alley’s fall inventory is available at this link. https://butterflyalley.net/plants/

Reserve your plants today for pick up during our garden tour on 9/22. To reserve plants, email: [email protected]
