About Our Garden
About Our Garden
The goal of our garden was to create a space where endangered butterflies and other pollinators can thrive. We hand-selected native, full-sun plants that attract endangered butterflies in the Okanagan. Our garden has a variety of different shapes and colours to be as appealing as possible.

Our Garden's Purpose
The purpose of our butterfly garden is to provide an ecosystem for endangered butterflies in the Okanagan. Our goal was to select native, drought-tolerant pollinator plants to support endangered butterflies. We created a garden where endangered butterflies can thrive offering them a variety of colours and shapes of flora blooming from April to October.

What Harms Our Garden?
What Harms Our Garden?
Some things that can harm our butterfly garden are invasive species, pests and pollution. When we first got to our raised garden bed, it had many weeds. We made sure to pull them out at the beginning before they took over our garden space. We chose pest-resistant plants to limit the damage. As our garden has over 16 hours of full sun, we made sure that all of our plants are drought-tolerant.
