Morarchs Feasting on a Meadow Blazingstar
At Wildflower Farm we have more than just flowers in the garden. Our native gardens provide supreme habitat and food for the local wildlife. We are always hosting a diversity of birds, butterflies, and the occasional amphibian or mammal (particularly Gardenis nativorous) .

The goldfinches are in full colour and making themselves quite at home. We’ve also noticed our resident bluebirds helping themselves to some tasty garden bugs.

Whooping Cranes were seen above the farm. At one point we thought they were going to land in our field of Little Blue Stem Grass but they caught a thermal and up they went. We could hear their distinctive whooping from quite a distance.
