Butterfly Mulch

 

Cocoon Mulch

Fine wood chips,

Chunky wood chips,

Discarded trees being repurposed,

Wood chips now mulch,

Shoveling and collection mulch,

Spread over flowering beds,

Dirt to be kept cool,

Starting plants with color,

Cocoons well fed of mulch,

Mulch to direct butterflies toward the floral colors!



[This reflection is based upon a work day at Grant Community Garden; a morning of shoveling and spreading mulch to call the butterflies; the photo is Swiss Chard from the NourishPhx plant bed]
