Brookside Gardens "Wings of Fancy" June 20, 2009

---

Beginning in early May and running daily through Mid- September 2008, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Brookside Gardens South Conservatory will feature live butterflies. Come witness the butterfly life cycle as tiny eggs hatch into crawling, chewing caterpillars, which then encase themselves in jewel-like chrysalides and emerge as sipping, flying adult butterflies. Learn about the best annual and tropical plants, and hardy shrubs that are used as nectar sources to attract butterflies to your own garden.
Butterfly visitation hours are from 10 AM to 1 PM. Exhibit tickets and parking are available at the Visitors Center and Conservatories. Admission is $5.00 for adults (included in safari price).
We will meet at Brookside Gardens at9 AM and have a class on butterfly photography until the butterfly exhibit opens at 10am. Afterwards we will stay to photographsome of the gardens. Pleasetake the second entrance to the park where it says "Wings of Fancy". Gates open automatically as you drive up.
