Mariposas del Mundo
288 Eastern St, New Haven, CT 06513, USA
Mariposas del Mundo (butterflies of the world) started to support the Monarch and 3 swallowtail butterflies. In August 2020 a dozen Volunteers planted 100 native plants, removed a zillion invasive plants ... and continue to reove the invasive plants and expand the native plants. Each year we plant more host plants for additional pollinatos, butterflies,fireflies, etc. This is a VACANT LOT at the corner of Hemingway St & Eastern St in New Haven, CT 06513 with 2 old donated picnic tables. Come visit and enjoy!
