Wings of Change Introduction – Wings of Change is educating our community on the important roles butterflies and moths play in our ecosystem. They serve as important keystone species, equally in importance after honey bees.
In San Diego County alone there are 140 endangered species of butterflies, including the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly and Monarch Butterfly. It is impossible how to predict how these dwindling populations affect the other endangered species in the area including birds, animals, amphibians and insects. Especially: least Bell’s vireo, arroyo southwestern toad, Stephens’ kangaroo rats, San Diego fairy shrimp, Desert tortoise, Delhi Sands flower-loving fly and riparian brush rabbits.
We invite you to learn with us, sign up for our blog or join us at our monthly events. Together we are the Wings of Change.
Wings of Change educates the community on native plants that create habitats for butterflies, moths, and other pollinators. This helps balance the ecological landscape, restoring the natural cycles broken through today’s conventional landscape designs. A natural meadow, whether an alpine meadow or a desert filled with wildflowers, looks beautiful and requires little care. While a landscaped garden needs additional water, is plagued by weeds, and is susceptible to pests, infestations, and disease.
We invite you to grow with us, sign up for our blog or become a member, or meet us at one of our events to learn about a new plant and butterfly each month. Together we are the Wings of Change.

In 1868, John Muir dubbed California the “Range of Light”. Unfortunately, many of the plants that he loved were labeled as weeds leaving many keystone species endangered. Our founder, Stephanie is ¼ Native American with forefathers whose roots date back to 1763 at Mission San Diego de Alcala. She promotes plants that were a part of those tribal times, the missing threads in our unbalanced ecosystem. Hopefully, with continued education, we will once again live in a place our elders spoke of, where butterflies were so plentiful that they would come in clouds that could be touched, even sometimes landing upon you.
We invite you to change with us: read our blog, shop our seed selection, or join us in-person or online. Together we are Wings of Change
