In the Garden:

Plant a Butterfly Feeder Hanging Basket
Sunday, May 13, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
or 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.

Since childhood, most Houstonians
can easily recognize the Monarch
butterfly. But did you know that over
100 butterfly species live in Southeast
Texas? With the recent extremes of
winter freezes and prolonged droughts,
many of the flowering plants that our
butterflies use as nectar sources no
longer exist.

In this hands-on workshop, you will be introduced to over two dozen different native plants whose flowers provide nectar for butterflies, including the Monarch. Plants profiled by your instructor will include several species appropriate for a hanging basket. Every participant will prepare and take home a butterfly feeder hanging basket.

Note: No prior knowledge of botany or entomology required. Fee includes basket, potting mix and 7 transplants. Registration is limited to 16 adults per session

This "make & take" workshop is family friendly.

One child age 10 and up welcome with each paid adult.
