A Real Gem

Aliza Robin of Gaithersburg, MD, shared this kitty with her Instagram followers. She writes: 

"This is Jasper in my garden. Last year, I turned my townhouse backyard into a monarch waystation and a pollinator habitat. He loves being in the yard with me when I garden or just in general. The garden is registered under the name 'Robin's Hollow.'

The swamp sunflowers I just planted this year. The other two photos are from the first year before the garden filled in.

I don't have a blog or website but the company that put in my garden (it's all native plants and a woman-owned company) wrote a blog about it: https://www.laurensgardenservice.com/butterfly-garden-in-gaithersburg/."
