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, prolonged droughts and large rainstorms, many of the flowering plants that butterflies use as nectar sources no longer exist.

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

This make-and-take workshop is family friendly. One child age 10 and up is welcome with each paid adult.
