Creating Butterfly Havens: The Power of Planting and Citizen Science Webinar

Butterflies call home where the plants are, but not just any plant will do. It takes a special mix of host plants, nectar plants, and structural plants for protection to create a thriving butterfly habitat. Join Nathan Brockman, Director of Entomology at Reiman Gardens, as he dives into the fascinating world of butterflies, exploring the importance of planting strategies for their survival and movement throughout their environment.
