Greater Kane County Wild Ones is hosting their monthly meeting with an exciting presentation "Garden for Lepidoptera" by Alan Branhagen, Executive Director of the Natural LandInstitute located in Rockford, IL and author of books: Midwest Native Plant Primer, Native Plants of the Midwest, and The Gardener’s Butterfly Book.
The program will look at the marvelous array of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) that can be found in our area. You will learn about the various species found here, their status, how you can attract them to your yard with their host and nectar plants and even ways to garden or maintain your landscape so that you don't harm them. Alan hopes the program inspires some
reverence for these amazing insects, that sadly, are in trouble. What you see now is the new normal, but it is not normal. Luckily, they have resiliency to rebound if given a chance.
This is a free event open to anyone interested in learning more about Wild Ones and native landscaping!
