Learn about 5 common butterflies seen in Texas and how you can support their habitat with the plants that are native to Texas and readily available at local nurseries.
In this presentation by Emily Hawthorn, you will learn about the butterfly life cycle and the difference between host and nectar plants. You will also see examples of plants that grow at the Native Plant Wildscape Demostration Garden and that can grow at your house. Leave with the knowledge and a plant that will bring butterflies to your front porch.
First 10 people will receive a free native butterfly-attracting plant.
**Our program is free but donations are always welcomed.**
Meet at the small classroom.
The Native Plant Wildscape Demostration Garden, is an outdoor garden and learning space located next to the Urban Ecology Center within Phil Hardberger Park Natural Area.
