Along the boundary fence, new garden beds will support the Southern Blue butterfly with clover-rich planting designed for their caterpillars. A small lean-to greenhouse attached to the garage will allow clover and other supporting plants to be grown year-round. This zone focuses on establishing a reliable host plant supply and strengthening the local butterfly population.

Contacted our local city council seeking contact details for my boundary neighbours. This is to seek permission to commence work on the jointly-owned boundary fence.
Council responded with contact details for 3 of the 5 boundary neighbours. Draft letter underway.
This project is part of Psyche by Theophora, a living sanctuary for the soul's metamorphosis, providing the sacred host plants essential to the journey from earthbound life to winged grace.
