A Sacred Family Tradition
Every August, families gather for Blooms & Butterflies, a heartfelt day of remembrance where joy and grief coexist. Held at two different family-owned farms across Iowa, this day is uniquely crafted for children and filled with family-friendly activities that culminate in a beautiful butterfly release. The ceremony provides an opportunity for families to participate in a shared act of remembrance, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
This signature memorial event is a day to:
- Celebrate angels with stories and fun for the whole family
- Unite families through shared experiences and community
- Release butterflies as symbols of hope, healing, and love that endures
What to Expect
Each Blooms & Butterflies gathering includes:
- Family-friendly remembrance activities
- Monarch butterfly release honoring each angel baby
- Family photo sessions (optional; limited availability)
- Connection with other families
Every detail is designed to create a safe, sacred space where families can honor their babies and feel less alone.
