The poster says "rain or shine," but it looks like it is going to be overcast and dreary. I can't think of a better antidote to gloomy weather than buying some new plants for your soon to be sunny garden!

Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles each year from Canada to Mexico. Other species have learned how to fool ants into taking care of them. Butterflies’ scales are inspiring researchers to create new life-saving medical technology. Williams takes readers to butterfly habitats across the globe and introduces us to not only various species, but to the scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying them.

Coupled with years of research and knowledge gained from experts in the field, this accessible “butterfly biography” explores the ancient partnership between these special creatures and humans, and why they continue to fascinate us today. Touching, eye-opening, and incredibly profound, The Language of Butterflies reveals the critical role they play in our world.

Join Cheshire Pollinator Pathway's next event in our 2026 Speakers' Series: "The Language of Butterflies" How Thieves, Hoarders and Other Obsessives Unlocked the Secrets of the World's Favorite Insect.

When: Monday 5/11 with NY Times best selling author Wendy Williams. Doors open at 6:30 for light refreshments, and the program begins at 7pm.
