2027 Blooms and Butterflies

A day of remembrance, healing, and hope

North Liberty + Des Moines

A Sacred Family Tradition

Every Fall, 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.
