Shubhalaxmi, the workshop covered creating butterfly-friendly gardens, including learning about host plants and gardening basics. Participants gained hands-on experience and took home 30 butterfly plant species and 4 saplings. We’re excited to see more people supporting biodiversity and look forward to our next workshop in this growing movement.

Participants enjoyed a guided tour, butterfly photography, fruit-bait salads to attract butterflies like the Blue Oakleaf, and a fun quiz with lapel prizes. Face painting and live caterpillars, including Tawny Coaster and Common Rose, added to the excitement. Butterfly plants were available for sale, and each participant received a curry leaf plant. The cool weather, fluttering butterflies, and delicious breakfast made the event magical. One participant said, “It was truly magical, educational, and fun!” Stay tuned for more events!

The plantation phase is the heart of our Butterfly Garden, focusing on selecting and planting species that support various stages of the butterfly lifecycle.
By incorporating a diverse range of plants, we ensure a continuous bloom cycle, offering year-round sustenance and habitat for various butterfly species. This biodiversity not only attracts a wide array of butterflies but also supports the overall health of the garden ecosystem.
Pathway Development
On our inaugural Earth Day celebration at Kehimkar's Butterfly Garden, we united with student volunteers from Vijaybhoomi University to invest in our environment.

On our inaugural Earth Day celebration at Kehimkar's Butterfly Garden, we united with student volunteers from Vijaybhoomi University to invest in our environment.
Our focus was the butterfly garden's dry stream, where we took on the invasive Mexican Poppy (A. mexicana). With dedication, students uprooted and buried these plants. Students didn't stop there. They built a checkdam, combating erosion, regulating water flow, and recharging groundwater.By freeing the stream from Mexican Poppy's grasp and fortifying it with a checkdam, students invest in cleaner streams.
Ground Preparation
Investing in Nature: Earth Day at Kehimkar's Butterfly Garden
Our team prepared the site for planting by:
- Clearing debris to create a clean area.
- Removing invasive plants that hinder butterfly-friendly growth.
- Tilling soil to enhance fertility and structure.
- Adding organic compost to enrich the soil for healthy plant growth.
This groundwork ensures our butterfly garden thrives and supports butterfly populations effectively.
