Designed by Rachel Wells of Hortulani, awarded Gold

This border is a protective and nurturing space to share with butterflies and moths throughout each stage of their development.

Change can be a positive experience, and by drawing on her own personal and professional development over the last decade, Rachel’s border reflects how she needed a place to rest and recharge to be able to develop and flourish, just like at risk butterfly and moth species.

Using plants that attract butterflies and moths during the day and at night, this border incorporates water, resting areas and includes habitats for each stage of their development; a safe haven to be shared.
