Judy "The Butterfly Lady"
My mom got the nickname the "Butterfly Lady" after over a decade of sharing Monarch metamorphosis with our local elementary school. Her father’s rose garden sparked her interest in gardening and botany from an early age. Under my mom’s expert gardening care, with my dad always gardening at her side, our garden grew to be a haven in the city attracting many butterfly, bee, and bird species. Her love of nature increased her love of photography as she aimed to share the wonders and joys in our yard with others.
April 2020, my mom lost her battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma. She left behind the boxes of her printed nature photographs from our yard and family vacations that she used to haul to craft fairs. I think she would be thrilled that her photography is now donation gifts for creating gardens and spreading the love of nature, both in the house as art, and outside for wildlife and humans to enjoy.
When selecting a donation gift created by my mom, 100% of of your donation will go toward Flora and Fauna House gardens.

Chrissy McClarren & Andy Reago
"We are Celebrants of the Wild"
Chrissy and Andy are a long-time couple that share a mutual passion for the wild that surpasses all other callings in their lives. In the presence of moths, birds, trees, the land, clouds, a sunset or a crescent moon, they experience awe and wonder they never thought possible. The wild leads them to cherish everything, especially each other, as all is connected. The wild's gifts are endless. Chrissy and Andy strive to give back by sharing their love in creative ways through writing, drawing, photography, video and a continuous stream of gushing with whoever they encounter.
Chrissy and Andy have donated over 32,000 digital images to Flora and Fauna house to use as prints free of charge. A small portion of your donation will go toward creating the prints, the rest will go entirely toward creating Flora and Fauna House gardens.
Irene Zabelin
I founded Flora and Fauna House based on the desire to bring nature to more homes, to increase the accessibility of gardens, and help preserve nature for future generations. Some of my earliest memories are of being with my parents and sister in our garden, and the tranquility and joy that nature brings.
Prints of my photography will be paid by my freelance and savings from my day-job, allowing all donation gifts created by me to go 100% toward Flora and Fauna House.
