Join us for a very special Plant Parent Club as gardener and butterfly waystation caretaker Susan Dalton Carney shares why butterfly gardens matter and how to plan and plant one at home.

Have you ever wanted a butterfly garden but didn’t know where to start? Or do you simply love butterflies and want to learn why they’re so important to Florida? Join us for a very special Plant Parent Club!

Susan Dalton Carney, from The Brainstorms, will be joining us to share her years of experience as a gardener and butterfly waystation caretaker. She’ll explain why butterfly gardens matter and how to plan and plant one at home.

You’ll learn about host plants, the importance of leveling, the butterfly life cycle, and how to help your garden thrive. Plus, you’ll get to take home your own specimen to begin your journey into creating a butterfly garden.

This program requires registration in order to participate in the take-home kit.  If you would like to attend without a reservation for a kit, please email acole@pascolibraries.org.
