What You Get
Upload butterfly, bird, bloom, and garden photos directly to the community gallery. The best are featured in our weekly Photo of the Week – seen by thousands of members.
Post questions and get answers from experienced gardeners and naturalists. Species identification, plant problems, canning questions, beekeeping advice – someone in this community knows the answer.
Our weekly newsletter arrives every Thursday at 7am – migration alerts, seasonal tips, the week’s best garden finds, Photo of the Week, and the top community questions. Included with membership.
Content and migration alerts tailored to your region. What to plant now, what’s migrating through your area, and what to expect in the coming weeks – based on where you actually garden.
Build a profile that shows your garden region, the wildlife you attract, and your contributions to the community. Earn badges for photos, answers, and milestones.
Not a social media algorithm. A real community of people who care about the same things you do – moderated, welcoming, and genuinely helpful.
The Founding Member badge is permanent. Once the community reaches 500 members, it’s retired forever – no exceptions. The first 500 members carry a badge that marks them as the people who were here at the beginning.
It costs nothing. You just have to join before the spots are gone.

I launched Butterflies, Birds & Blooms more than ten years ago, and this is our newly redesigned home. We are in a testing phase, so a few things may still be rough around the edges. If you run into any issues, let us know - and in the meantime, enjoy exploring.
