Mark your calendars for 'The Beauty Of Butterflies" - our annual butterfly event that is hugely popular and a lot of fun for the entire family. The event will be held this year on Saturday, August 6th from 9am-3pm.
There will be special displays set up throughout the store including displays on:
- PA butterflies and caterpillars
- host plants

- our living butterfly house!
We are offering 2 programs as well:
- Tour of our butterfly gardens at 11am and 2pm. These are free tours.
- Book sale and signing with Ron Richael, author of "Attracting Butterflies - A Handbook for Butterfly Gardening"
Our much anticipated butterfly release is scheduled for 12:00 noon
We can't forget the little ones! Our children's activities this year are:
- butterfly and caterpillar crafts
- face painting
