Healthy yards filled with native plants attract, feed, and shelter local pollinators. Learn how you can join Leonardtown's Butterfly Trail by planting a butterfly stopover in your yard.

Leonardtown’s Butterfly Trail is a growing effort to support pollinators (especially birds, bees, and butterflies) by creating a landscape corridor of habitat and nutrition for them from the library to the wharf and across surrounding neighborhoods.

Amy Henderson is a member of the St. Mary’s County Garden Club and Wild Ones Chesapeake Bay. She volunteers regularly at the Leonardtown Library’s Front Yard Garden and has become a passionate advocate for native plants and pollinator-friendly ecosystems. With the help of other local native plant enthusiasts, she’s helping to establish and expand the Butterfly Trail in Leonardtown.
