I’m excited to announce we’re having another giveaway. This one’s courtesy of the new butterfly exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (SNMNH). They’re giving two lucky Mother Earth’s Garden readers a chance to win children’s gardening sets.
SNMNH is sponsoring this giveaway to commemorate the opening of its new exhibition, Butterflies and Plants: Partners in Evolution.
The Butterfly Exhibit opened in early 2008. It includes an up-close and
unique look at butterflies, and a 1,200-square foot Live Butterfly Pavillion where visitors are invited to walk among more than 300 tropical butterflies, and discover for themselves how they interact with their plant partners.
The giveaway:
The gardening sets have everything for your little gardener! Each set contains a kneeling pad, kid’s gloves, a hand shovel and hand cultivator – all in a butterfly design. It’s a really cute kit to help your little gardeners create a butterfly habitat before the butterflies start to migrate south!
How do you win?
The Rules: Leave a comment between now and midnight September 1st, sharing your favorite butterfly story, or type of butterfly. It’s that simple. Don’t leave a generic “I want to win this” comment, or it won’t be included.
One entry per household, please.
The winners will be announced here, and notified via email, and will have a couple days to reply. If the winner does not respond, a new winner will be selected.
Good luck!

We just visited the butterfly exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum and it was so cool to see all the butterflies flying around and landing on people.
Love Monarch Butterflies!
My favorite is the Monarch butterfly with it’s deep genetic coding to follow the flight path of it’s ancesters.
