This is a butterfly awareness effort.  It is based on the action of planting the host plant of the Zebra swallowtail which happens to be the pawpaw tree.  We are asking you to plant pawpaw trees in the effort of prospering butterflies.

Wish for butterflies to visit and use your garden.  It's your hard work that makes this effort possible.
