Does your garden flutter? Is it abuzz with flighty friends? Whether you are invested in insect garden visitors or just want to learn more, come celebrate pollinators at the USBG during this special event. Join Jim Willmott, Eric Leavitt, and Dr. Ari Novy as they share the wonders of what butterflies, bumblebee, and honeybees bring to the environment, and then help them release select butterflies into our Butterfly Garden! Please note: This program will be offered twice, at 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. It is held outdoors. We suggest bringing sunscreen, protective clothing, and water. The program is canceled if it rains or during times of extreme heat (heat index of 95 degrees or higher/Code Red weather alert). – See more at: https://www.usbg.gov/events/2016/05/18/special-event-pollinator-party-0
