AT: Butterfly Gardening with Elizabeth White Olsen

Hybrid. In Person (Houston Arboretum) or Virtual (Zoom Link)

Along with many species of wildlife in our country, populations of Texas Gulf Coast butterflies are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and other factors. In this presentation, we will learn what butterflies need to survive and complete their life cycle, as well as ways we can help them in our own yards. Join us for an inspiring and illuminating journey into the magical lives of one of nature’s most wondrous creatures, the butterfly.
