Firefly Farm & Mercantile’s Prairie Pocket Mix will support local birds, butterflies and beneficial insects and provide safe resting stops to your migratory birds and butterflies. Hellen Keller said it best "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."

In each Prairie Pocket Mix set includes packet of Native Flower for 100 square feet (think 10'x10' space), 1 packet of Little Bluestem so you can plant it where you want. If you live in a stare where Little Bluestem is not native, we will choose a similar native grass for you. And we include a handout on building habitats for nature in your yard. Through Cyber Monday we are including 1 packet of our Bird & Butterfly Wildflower Mix to help have flowers your first year. You can plant everything together or you can keep them separate, it's your choice! Starts Shipping 12/7 - Our custom made gift envelopes are on the way from the printer!

Flutter Pool™: Natural Puddling Kit Create a permanent, natural hydration magnet right in your landscape. While flowers supply butterflies with nectar for flight energy, male butterflies desperately need essential sodium, trace minerals, and amino acids to survive and reproduce. In the wild, they flock to natural mud puddles after heavy rains—a behavior known as "puddling." Natural puddles are disappearing as turf and concrete fill our spaces. Help our butterflies by providing safe sanctuaries of restoration with our Flutter Pool™: Natural Puddling Kit. Flutter Pool™: Natural Puddling Kit gives you the professional ecological tools to transform a small 1-square-foot patch of your yard into a long-lasting, mud-sealed mineral oasis. Using high-expansion natural Bentonite clay, sand, gravel, and our signature Butterfly Bait: Flutter Dust™, you can build a self-sustaining puddle station that holds moisture and attracts butterflies season after season! 🌸 Choose Your Kit Variant To help you save on shipping weight or get an all-in-one package, choose the option that best fits your needs: 🌿 Eco-Light Kit (Sand-Free / Reduced Shipping Weight): Contains the essential Bentonite Clay Sealant and Flutter Dust™ mineral mix. Save on shipping costs by sourcing 8 lbs of clean local sand, play sand, or crushed river rock from your local yard or garden center! 📦 Complete Kit (Includes 8 lbs Mineral Sand and decorative gravel): Everything you need in one box! Perfect for gift-giving or when you want all specialized materials delivered straight to your door. 🌿 Eco-Conscious Landscape Science 🌋 Natural Bentonite Soil Sealant (1.5 lbs): Expanding sodium bentonite clay bonds with your native soil to slow water drainage, creating a natural clay liner without plastic, rubber, or synthetic chemicals. 🏖️ Custom Mineral Sand Layer (Included in Complete Kit): Provides a smooth, safe substrate over the clay base to retain moisture without creating deep muddy traps. 🧂 Flutter Dust™ Mineral Boost: Infuses the station with vital sea salts, ocean kelp, and micro-nutrients that butterflies crave. ☀️ Open-Air Sanctuary Design: Engineered to create shallow water depths with dry perching areas, allowing butterflies to drink safely without wetting their feet or wings. 📦 What’s Included in the Box 🌿 Eco-Light Kit (Sand-Free): 1x 1.5 lb Bag of Natural Bentonite Clay Granules (Formulated for ~1 sq. ft. in average soils) 1x Packet of Butterfly Bait: Flutter Dust™ (Natural mineral & kelp boost) 1x Compostable Step-by-Step Landscape Guide(Requires native soil, water, 4 lbs of local sand/fine gravel, and optional landing stones) 📦 Complete Kit (With Sand): Everything in the Eco-Light Kit PLUS: 1x 4 lb Bag of Specialized Mineral Sand Blend 🛠️ Step-by-Step Construction & Care Guide Step 1: Dig Your Station Choose an open, sunny location in your garden. Dig a hole roughly 1 square foot wide and 5 inches deep. Reserve the excavated topsoil in a wheelbarrow or large bucket. Tip: Keep the area open! Avoid placing tall plants directly around the puddle—butterflies prefer clear visibility while drinking to spot predators. Step 2: Mix the Clay Sealant Thoroughly mix your reserved topsoil with the 1.5 lbs of Bentonite Clay Granules in your wheelbarrow until evenly distributed.(Note: If working with extremely sandy soil, you may need up to 2.5 lbs of clay to ensure a proper seal). Step 3: Backfill, Shape & Slope Place the soil-clay mixture back into the hole. Pack the soil down firmly, leaving the surface 1 inch lower than the surrounding ground so water naturally pools inside. Slope the mixture slightly inward toward the center to create varying water depths. This allows butterflies to drink safely at the shallow edges without wetting their feet or wings! Step 4: Water & Cure (24-Hour Bond) Water the area evenly with a gentle spray. Let the clay set up and bond for 24 hours. Sprinkle lightly with water every few hours during the day to help the bentonite clay expand and create a watertight seal with your native soil. Step 5: Add the Sand & Landing Stones Once cured, spread 4 lbs of Mineral Sand (included in the Complete Kit, or sourced locally for the Eco-Light Kit) evenly over the clay base and smooth it over. Place a few flat decorative stones or gravel pieces around the shallow edges to serve as dry "perch rocks" after rainfalls. Step 6: Dust & Hydrate Sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons of Flutter Dust™ across the top of the wet sand layer. Gently mist with water until a shallow puddle forms. Flutter Pool™ is ready to welcome its first visitors! Step 7: Maintain & Refresh Keep your sanctuary active all season long! Add a fresh sprinkle (1–2 tsps) of Flutter Dust™ every few weeks to replenish essential minerals washed away by rain or absorbed by visiting pollinators. During dry spells when no rain is in the forecast, simply sprinkle fresh water into Flutter Pool™ to keep the sand damp, cool, and inviting. 🦋 Summary: Why Build a Flutter Pool? Most garden kits focus exclusively on planting nectar flowers, but Flutter Pool™ completes the ecological puzzle by fulfilling a critical biological requirement that flowers simply cannot provide. "Nectar powers their wings, but minerals sustain their species." 🎯 The 4 Core Purposes of Your Pool: 🧪 Vital Mineral Hydration: Provides essential sodium and ocean kelp micro-nutrients that male butterflies pass along to females to ensure strong, viable eggs. 🛡️ Drown-Proof Safe Drinking Zone: Unlike open water features or deep birdbaths where butterflies easily drown, the damp sand matrix and sloped clay design give insects a safe, textured surface to land on. 🏡 Permanent Backyard Refuge: Rather than relying on temporary puddles that dry up in hours, your bentonite-sealed base holds moisture deep in the soil for days, giving pollinators a reliable water stop all season long. 📸 Unmatched Wildlife Observation: By creating a dedicated mineral focal point at ground level, you draw butterflies out of the high canopy and down into open view for breathtaking, up-close observation. 📋 Technical Specifications Feature Details Brand Firefly Farm Product Line Flutter Series Product Name Flutter Pool™: Natural Puddling Kit Coverage Area ~1 Square Foot Clay Type 100% Natural Sodium Bentonite Granules (1.5 lbs) Sand Option Eco-Light (Sand-Free) OR Complete Kit (Includes 4 lbs Sand) Packaging Ethos Minimalist, Eco-Friendly, Low-Waste
