Join us for a fascinating exploration of the butterfly life cycle and the importance of native plants. Our program will start with a short education session to learn butterfly basics including differences between skippers\, swallowtail and whites/yellows. The education session will include photographs of butterflies commonly seen in our area along with some tips on how to enjoy butterfly watching.

We will have the following resources available to use while exploring in the gardens: butterfly checklists\, field guides to reference for identifications\, and folding guides with butterfly images. Our Gift Shops will have butterfly resources available for sale if you want to take a book or guide home to practice. \nHome school groups – Meetup limits registration online to 5 guests.
