Did you miss our Butterfly Gardening program last week? No worries, we will be having a free docent tour this Saturday.
You're in luck because we have a least FIVE different kinds of caterpillars in our garden right now! Hopefully we will see you all there.
Make sure you bring water and any butterfly questions you have with you!
