Bringing the world to your doorstep
Raise your own monarch butterflies
I think butterflies are one of the most amazing animals on Earth. And you can raise them right in your own backyard. Plant milkweed, watch tiny striped caterpillars grow, and witness the miraculous transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. Along the way, you’ll explore big questions about migration, instinct, and nature’s hidden mysteries. You might even find one in yourself.
Create your own ecosystem
What happens when you turn a patch of grass into a tiny wild world? In this Backyard Adventure, a simple change invites butterflies, birds, and all kinds of surprising creatures to move in—and shows how even the smallest yard can become its own ecosystem.
Collect your own water with a rain barrel
Collect your own rainwater with this simple setup. Not only is it free, but rainwater contains its own natural fertilizers.
Grow food NOT grass
What better way to have a backyard adventure than to grow a garden? We recommend you start with a potted plant like basil.
