Making a Butterfly Difference

Learn how to “power boost” your garden friends with native plants in your gardens and beds in a four-session series of Zoom workshops presented by Kelly Leask of Prairie Originals- Manitoba’s only native plant supplier of wildflowers and native grasses.

In April 2022 ACAN hosted 4 Zoom sessions with Kelly Leask of Prairie Originals to learn about how and why to garden with plants that are native to Manitoba. Butterflies and pollinators receive the best nutrition from plants that have been here a long time and have adapted to the prairies.
