The beautiful Monarch butterfly is widely considered the “king” of all butterflies.
Treat yourself and your family to the breath-taking sight of butterflies taking flight at our annual Butterfly Release event.!
To reserve your Monarch Butterfly, call the Garden Center office. Choose a release time to attend; either 11 A.M. or 1 P.M.
The Monarchs are provided free compliments of the Second Chance Fund, but we do ask for a reservation fee, refunded when you pick up your butterfly, to insure that everyone gets a butterfly.
The release will take place in the beautiful LeFevre Butterfly Garden located at the bottom of the parking lot behind the main Garden Center building. The colorful flowers there will entice the released Monarchs to stay and take a sip of nectar.
There will be plenty to see and enjoy:
- Monarch larva will be happily munching milkweed in one of our troughs.
- Novelty items will be available for fun and excitement for the little ones.
- Educational displays and butterfly books are inside the Garden House.
- Buy a flower wand for a butterfly to coax a Monarch to land.
- Take a picture on the butterfly bench.
- We have a limited number of Milkweed plants.
- Get a butterfly tattoo or have your face painted.
Mark your calendar and bring the family for a wonderful butterfly experience
