With the support of the Tucson Chapter of the Arizona Native Plant Society, the SE Arizona Butterfly Association has sponsored and created a BUTTERFLY GARDEN  on the Tucson Audubon's Mason Property. Our garden, which  features both nectar plants and host plants, will be an important part of an education program to involve area schools.
For more information or to help maintain the garden contact Linda Greene at 520-544-2686/ lhgreene@yahoo.com.
