FREE Butterfly Garden Starter Kit

Act fast! The National Wildlife Federation is offering a free butterfly garden pack (seeds) for those who take the pledge and upload a photo of themselves making the ASL butterfly sign.

How to pledge

 

Enter your photo on our Butterfly Heroes Pledge of you, your family, or your community making the American Sign Language sign for butterfly. The sign for butterfly is made by linking your thumbs and crossing your two hands in front of you at the wrists with your palms facing you. You must also enter your information, such as email and mailing address, to receive a Butterfly Garden Starter Packet. This kit will help you learn how to plant the right plants that will help the monarch and other pollinators thrive
