Instant Butterfly Garden
June 22 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Attracting butterflies to your yard is a wonderful way to increase the ecological value of your property and connect with the natural world. Discuss plants that provide food for adult butterflies and their caterpillars and how to create suitable habitats for these ephemeral beauties. Take home five floriferous native pants and easy-to-use instructions for making a butterfly garden of your own. The class will go outside to see the plants in the gardens.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, June 22, 2024.
