FREE EVENT! Join us Saturday, July 9th for a day full of butterflies and plants! Learn about butterfly plants from David McKinney, the curator of the grounds. He will talk about plants butterflies are most attracted to and how to grow those plants in your own backyard! Donald Lewis, ISU Extension Entomologist, will talk about the butterfly’s life cycle.
