Please Visit Our Pages:

During the shipping season (May thru October), our Facebook fans will receive notification of special promotions being offered on our web site. They will also be periodically posted on which plants are especially nice at that particular time (making these plants a better buy at that particular time).

You will find hundreds of plant nurseries on the Internet. Only a few though, might offer higher quality perennials at prices lower than ours. Along with striving to produce high quality perennials at competitive prices, we also try hard to offer many garden worthy perennials that are often difficult to find at other plant nurseries. Also offered on our web site are hummingbird feeders and books on butterfly gardening. Enjoy your visit to our web site!

Butterfly Enthusiasts are cordially invited to attend

Rose Franklin's
Gardening For Butterflies

~ Saturday, August 10 ~ Sunday, August 11 ~

Whichever day you attend, the schedule is the same: The day begins at 11:00 AM with a free 45-minute presentation on How To Attract Butterflies To Your Property. Participants will then be welcome to explore our butterfly gardens and tour the butterfly nursery (where we hand rear hundreds of butterflies every summer) and butterfly flight room (where numerous species of PA native butterflies fly, nectar on flowers, and lay eggs).
In our plant nursery (which is not generally open to walk-in customers), we will be offering some hard-to-find butterfly attract plants for your own garden, some of which will be discount priced from noon 'til 4 PM.
Plant Purchases: Cash or check only. No credit card sales.
A light complimentary lunch will be served at noon.

Please bring a lawn chair if you have one. Please do not bring children under the age of 6.

Guests may arrive an hour early to explore the outdoor gardens. Photography permitted.

Looking for a guest speaker for one of your upcoming meetings?

Rose Franklin now offers two PowerPoint slide show presentations for Pennsylvania-based garden club, school, day care, scout, and nature groups.
The presentations are available to groups of 20 to 60 participants and may be scheduled for dates between October and March.
Choose between these two presentations:

Butterflies 101: An Introduction to the anatomy, life cycle, and behaviors of common PA butterflies.

Designed for younger audiences (and adults who know little about butterflies), this educational PowerPoint presentation explains what butterflies are and describes their life cycle. It includes both slides and video clips. The presentation lasts about 60 minutes and includes a 10 minute Q&A session.

Gardening for Butterflies in Pennsylvania

Designed for adult audiences (even children over the age of 12), this fast-paced slide presentation shows participants how to quickly attract butterflies to their properties. It also pictures many of the butterflies that will likely be attracted to a residential butterfly garden. The presentation lasts about 60 minutes and includes a 10 minute Q&A session.

Fee (per presentation): $125.00 (on-site or off-site), plus $.50 per mile for every mile beyond 30 miles of Spring Mills, Centre County, PA (where Rose resides).

To have Rose as a guest speaker at one of your meetings, please email her at RoseFranklin@aol.com with 'Guest Speaker' in the subject line, or call her at 814-422-8968.

We do not publish a printed catalog.
Our inventory of perennials changes on a regular basis during the growing season (May thru October). The plant species we offer in May differs from what we offer in July, and what we offer in July is different from what we offer in September. Because our inventory changes from month to month, a catalog just would not work for our business. Our web site functions as our catalog.

Want to learn more about butterfly gardening?
Our web site includes several articles on the subject.
Just visit our 'Articles' page.
