On Sunday, August 4th from 2 to 4pm CDT, Friendship Botanic Gardens will host a FREE educational program dedicated to everyone’s favorite pollinators: butterflies! Horticulturalist Dolly Foster will discuss butterfly gardening, pollinator conservation, and how you can attract these beautiful “flying flowers” to your own backyard! She will also discuss techniques for catching and raising monarch butterfly caterpillars. This is a terrific opportunity for families to learn how to help boost butterfly populations through hands-on citizen science.

Audiences can experience live butterflies up-close as we release newly hatched monarchs into our specially designed butterfly garden.
