Gardens for Butterflies

Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden presents an inspiring and practical three-part workshop series for adults who want to create backyard gardens that truly support butterflies.

Gardens for Butterflies is led by Karen Shaw, Brush Turkey Enterprises and Forest Heart Eco‑nursery. The workshops draw on Karen’s deep passion for native plant diversity and her long-standing commitment to fostering healthy, resilient habitats. Across the series, you’ll discover how butterflies use gardens at every life stage, why the right plants matter, and how thoughtful design and maintenance can turn your backyard into genuine butterfly habitat.

These workshops will inspire and equip you to create thriving, butterfly‑friendly gardens—from first plantings to long‑term pollinator success.

Registration is essential, $20 per workshop.
