Release Your Own Butterfly!
Saturday, August 3rd is Ashcombe’s annual 
“Beauty of Butterflies,” featuring all things related 
to butterflies.  Our butterfly release is so popular that many participants like to sponsor their own butterfly to release on that day.  We are offering 
our customers the opportunity to purchase a 
butterfly for $10.00 per Monarch Butterfly.  These butterflies will be shipped directly to Ashcombe 
and will be reserved in the names of all paid sponsors.  On August 3rd, you may pick up your butterfly and release it here or take it home to enjoy its beauty in your own backyard.  
Deadline for reserving your butterfly is July 15th.

See Kerri in the greenhouse to order your butterfly!
