Gardening for Butterflies

This butterfly garden workshop will teach you about the role of butterflies in ecosystems, the native plants most attractive to butterflies, and how to select the right ones for your specific location and climate when creating an appealing and functional habitat garden.

Jeanne McRight founded Mississauga’s award-winning not-for-profit organization Blooming Boulevards in 2019 and is currently busy as its President and Board Chair. In 2015 she initiated an amendment to Mississauga’s Encroachment By-Law, allowing residents to create habitat gardens that support declining insect populations on city boulevards. Her popular webinars on native plant habitat gardening topics reach a world-wide audience. Conservation gardening is Jeanne’s joy and passion, but more than that, she is a deeply committed advocate for environmentally sustainable horticultural practices.
