    We're getting ready for the Monarch Fest this Saturday at Urbavore Urban Farm. We're focusing on bringing plants that feed caterpillars, butterflies, and moths. We'll have several species of milkweed for Monarchs, golden Alexander's for black swallowtail, senna for sulphers, spicebush for spicebush swallowtail, Dutchman's Pipevine for pipevine swallowtail, pawpaw for zebra swallowtail, and more. Plus lots of great nectar plants such as blazingstars, asters, goldenrods, bee balm, native thistle, coneflower, black eye Susan's, and more.

    We'll be taking a limited quantity to the sale so put in a reservation by the end of Wednesday to guarantee you get the plants you want, come early, or visit us at the nursery where we have a wider selection.

    This beauty, Meadow Beauty (Rhexia interior), will be added to our inventory for this weekend. This adorable flower from the Ozarks may not be for every yard - it needs moist, well-drained soil. But if you have those conditions this plant is a fun addition to attract bumblebees.

    We need your help naming our newest garden that was installed last year along Noland Rd. Currently we refer to it as the Noland Road garden, but we feel it has way more character than that. We also considered calling it the "Huh?" garden because as we were planting it our conversations often got lost in the noise of the cars. But again that doesn't capture its beauty, with its multiple species of Echinacea that have been blooming for months, several allium species popping in front, blazing stars that are starting to show their magic, and aromatic aster that is patiently holding its showcase for later.

    Submit your creative names for the garden in the comments and the crew will vote on our favorites to select the name. Vote for your favorite by liking the comments with your favorite suggestions.
