Barbara Murphy has a plan is to better attract butterflies, but also create specific spaces for native bees and birds. They will educate their human guests, too at a pollinator garden at Valentine Farm, a Mahoosuc Land Trust property. “We want insects, amphibians and birds!” Murphy said. The pond will be a private sanctuary surrounded by lots of taller grasses and on one side will be a “blind,” like a shutter with slats, to look through.
