Dear Teachers,

1. He can grow flowers as well as catch butterflies.

- Is this natural?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Not really. It's an odd concept that catching butterflies can be equated with growing flowers. "He can grow flowers as well as vegetables" OR "He can catch dragonflies as well as butterflies" would both be more natural.
