The Ultimate Easter Gift: a gift that comes to life! – Black Swallowtail

Our Easter Butterfly Kits are designed for those who want to experience the magic of nature exactly as it happens in the wild.

This journey starts with a living, breathing host plant. You’ll nurture the garden first, creating a healthy home for your future guests! How the Magic Works:

Step 1: The Easter Arrival Pick up your boutique host plant this Easter! You can choose between:

• Milkweed: The essential home for Monarchs.
• Dill or Fennel: The favorite feast of Eastern Black Swallowtails.

Step 2: Nurture the Habitat Take your plant home and watch it grow! By providing sunshine and water throughout the spring, you’ll ensure your plant is big, leafy, and ready to feed hungry caterpillars.

Step 3: Meet Your caterpillars (June/July) Once the summer sun arrives and your plant is thriving, return to the farm to pick up your live caterpillars. Because you’ve grown a real plant, you’ll get to watch them eat, grow, and explore in a natural environment.

Step 4: The Transformation Experience the awe-inspiring moment your caterpillars find a sturdy stem to build their chrysalis. After a short wait, you’ll witness a brand-new butterfly emerge, dry its wings, and take its very first flight from your garden.

Why Choose a Live-Plant Experience?

• Eco-Friendly: You aren't just raising a butterfly; you’re planting a habitat that supports pollinators for years to come.
• Educational & Real: Kids learn the vital connection between insects and the specific plants they need to survive.
• Healthier Butterflies: Raising caterpillars on fresh, pesticide-free leaves leads to stronger, more vibrant butterflies.

Limited kits are available for Easter pickup! Reserve your Live Plant Kit today and get ready to watch the magic take flight.
