    Hi! My name is Debbie (ladygiantmom) from Central Illinois. I just bought a new house a year ago with 3 big lots for me to garden on. I also have a butterfly garden at school that was created by my students. I'm always looking for new ideas and great gardening tips.

    Hi Debbie, another Louisiana welcome. I'll bet it was a great experience for the kids to grow a butterfly garden. Thanks for being a teacher, I know it is not always an easy job.

    Thanks for the welcome to group. My students at school are working on our new updated school website that will feature our butterfly garden. When it is up and running I'll post the website link. My school is close to Springfield, IL.
