The garden.
Henly House is situated on five acres and divided into different sections filled with native perennials, flowering trees, shrubs, roses, and native grasses and wildflowers. It is grown with organic practices and the transformation of bringing it to life — from studying the uniqueness of our property and honoring the landscape to amending the soil and building a sustainable infrastructure — has resulted in more wildlife with birds, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and critters who have found shelter and sanctuary here.
“What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?”

Pollinator Garden
Henly House is a registered Monarch Waystation and Habitat, certified by the international organization, Monarch Watch, a nonprofit education, conservation, and research program based at the University of Kansas that focuses on the monarch butterfly, its habitat, and its spectacular fall migration. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Certified waystations like Henly House provide milkweeds and the nectar from flowers that enable fall migratory monarch butterflies to make their long journey to overwintering grounds in Mexico.
