Butterfly Tagging during the Plant Sale

Participate in the gentle tagging and release of monarch butterflies in the Trial Garden! Watch as education horticulturist and entomologist Gail Manning gathers the butterflies as they feed on nectar (flowers available at the plant sale!). A small tag is applied to the hindwing, and the butterfly is released to flutter away, continuing its journey south to Mexico. Be part of a phenomenon of nature- the marvelous migration of the monarch.
