Free Butterfly
Gardening program at Shawnee Prairie
Greenville – June 30, 2018: Darke County Parks naturalist will host a
free program to the public on the basics of butterfly gardening. Join
us on June 30th at 3pm as we explore which plants attract the most
butterflies, as well as other tricks to keep these important
pollinators thriving. Did you know some butterflies take in minerals
through a behavior called “puddling”? Learn about this and other habits
to provide a suitable space for your garden visitors. We will discover
which flowers and structures will have butterflies and other native
pollinators returning again and again to your garden.
Interested in learning more about the Darke County Parks and our
special programs? Visit the parks website at darkecountyparks.org or
sign up to receive your quarterly copy of the Nature Notes Newsletter.
Included in each newsletter is a listing of the upcoming programs,
informative articles from the naturalist educators and/or director and
special programming information. You can also visit the parks
headquarters at Shawnee Prairie Preserve located at 4267 State Rout 502
in Greenville, OH. The nature center and office hours are Monday
through Saturday 9-5, closed on Sundays.
We strive to maintain and protect the unique natural and cultural areas
of Darke County for future generations. We hope you will join us this
summer and many seasons to come!
