Passionate About Inspiring Others

Originally started in 2013, sister's Ginger and Vicki's biggest mission at Butterflies Everywhere was to increase the declining monarch butterfly population in the Midwest.

Together, We Can Enhance Our Planet

​

We believe in the power of collective action to make a significant difference in our world. The decline in the Monarch population is a call to action for all of us.

​

As a champion of green initiatives, Butterflies Everywhere prides itself on utilizing organic compost, collecting rainwater, employing solar-powered pumps, and utilizing recycled materials and reusable or decomposable pots. Our commitment to sustainability is at the core of everything we do.

Our mission extends to educating and inspiring individuals about eco-friendly gardening practices, such as natural weed control and planting butterfly gardens for better health and biodiversity. By leading through example, we aim to empower everyone with the knowledge that their efforts, no matter how small, can contribute to a greater cause.

​

We specialize in raising and selling healthy, disease-free Monarchs and other butterfly varieties, offering them for release at special occasions, including symbolic butterfly release ceremonies and anniversary butterfly releases. Our Butterfly Tea Parties, Tai Chi with the Butterflies sessions, garden talks, and seedball workshops are designed to bring people closer to nature, while our Wild Adornment handmade jewelry celebrates the beauty of the natural world.

​

Monarchs require Milkweed to lay their eggs, making it an essential addition to any butterfly garden. We invite you to explore our plant sales, featuring a variety of host and nectar plants that will help you start your own Mini Monarch Waystation, giving these beautiful creatures a new beginning and a chance to thrive.

In Memory and Honor of Ginger

In December 2022, I faced the heartbreaking loss of my little sister, business partner, and best friend, Ginger. To me, butterflies symbolize the soul's journey, and I see Ginger’s spirit in every butterfly. This has imbued them with a sacred significance in my life.

​

Driven by our shared vision, I founded Creative Butterfly Ventures LLC, dba Butterflies Everywhere, to continue our mission. My renewed purpose is to build a Teaching Treehouse and Butterfly Sanctuary in Ginger’s honor, creating a space where the community can learn, reflect, and find joy in the wonders of nature.

​

Butterflies hold various meanings for different people; I hope your experience with them is as beautiful as mine has been. Thank you for joining us in this meaningful journey.
