NFTS Blooms + Butterflies | Des Moines | August 17, 2025

Proudly Hosted By

Please join us for the 3rd Annual No Foot Too Small Blooms + Butterflies at Howell's Greenhouse and Pumpkin Patch on August 17th in Cumming, IA from 5:00-8:00pm.  This event is more than just a fun day at the local farm—it’s a heartfelt celebration designed to unite families and provide our earthly children with a meaningful connection to the siblings they hold in their hearts. This day is uniquely crafted for children, 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. It’s a chance for everyone to acknowledge the significance of the lives we’ve lost and to educate our children in a supportive, understanding environment.

Join us as we celebrate angels, connect with other families, and honor our grief through joy.
