Nature Favors is a Texas-based, family owned and operated gift making company, creating unique, little sustainable seed gifts, designed as re-gifts to nature.  We are passionate about what we do, and we've been at it for a long, long time!  

​

This is our story:

​

The idea of the first plantable gift came to Texas butterfly farmer, Shari Gray, during a conversation with a bride in 2000.  The couple were planning to release butterflies at their wedding, and they wanted each guests to receive a butterfly themed gift to take home and enjoy as a reminder of their special day.   Owner, Shari Gray, thought to herself, why not make a special gift for the butterflies to enjoy as well?  And so she did!   She started by harvesting seeds from the butterfly plants on the farm, carefully selecting flowers seeds that would be the most beneficial for butterflies.  Next, she began experimenting with making paper that she infused with seeds to create the first plantable butterfly release box.   Little did she know then, the idea of that one little gift box would eventually sprout into a complete line of unique,

sustainable, nature inspired products, known today as "Nature Favors".

Texas Butterfly Farmer, Shari Gray, Founder of Nature Favors, Creator of the Blooming Butterfly Release Box™

​

The experience and knowledge Shari would gain as a butterfly farmer would not only pave the road to Nature Favors, but it also provided her with an opportunity to share her knowledge about butterflies with others.  Shari presented live butterfly educational programs at schools and garden clubs, educating others on the life cycle of the butterfly, teaching them how to create natural butterfly habitats in their own back yards and throughout the community.  Shari has devoted her time in many ways throughout the years, both locally and internationally, serving as a board member for several organizations, including The International Butterfly Breeders Association.
