Event Details
Gardening for Butterflies will take place on Thursday, June 25th, at 6 p.m. at the McLean County Extension office. Workshop registration is required!
Join the National Pollinator Week celebration with a hands-on workshop with Master Gardeners! Help support butterflies by learning more about these small but mighty creatures and how you can support them in your own garden. What do butterflies need for a successful garden habitat? Master Gardeners will showcase real examples of containers and garden beds designed for butterflies and other pollinators.
Take this new knowledge and your own 'Swallowtail mini garden' home with you following the workshop! The $15 registration fee will include the plants, soil, and container for the mini garden. Uncover the importance of host plants and nectar plants when thoughtfully preparing a garden space for butterflies. Let's grow together, supporting butterflies and their habitat!
