“Creating a Butterfly Garden”
and
“Native Pollinators” Workshop
Saturday, August 25th 10:00am
As you probably assumed, we got rained out on Saturday, August 11th with this class and have decided to combine it with the Pollinator class on Saturday, August 25th. It will be held rain or shine in our greenhouse where it is shady and comfortable.
This will probably be the most exciting lecture to date as the entire greenhouse has been turned into a butterfly house with many varieties of colorful butterflies flying around you.The caterpillars that will soon turn into the butterfly chrysalis and then butterflies, will be on display and a sampling of the plants used for butterfly food and those special plants that attract them.
This is a great hands-on class for children! They could hold and pet the caterpillars and see the many live butterflies. Each child will be given a sunflower to take home and plant ( great source for our pollinators !) – a fun time for the little ones to learn!
Next workshop: “Fall Perennials”Saturday, Sept. 1st 10am
