About Our Presenters

Tim Harrison and Anna Hutson created the Native Butterfly Flowers Nursery in 2015. They grow and sell Florida Native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. The duo designs landscapes to create habitats for birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife, focusing on biological diversity. Their mission is to provide Florida Native plants to the retail public and create habitats that are useful for wildlife, environmentally friendly, and sustainable without using fertilizers or chemicals of any kind. The Native Butterfly Flowers Nursery strives to bring environmental awareness through outreach and education by changing traditional landscaping practices and encouraging people to create areas where life can be abundant.
