About this Event

Join Kenna for a keynote presentation all about butterflies.

Guests will receive a handout featuring a list of native host plants and the butterflies and moths they support in NY as well as a list of recommendations for local nurseries and online seed distributors. Kenna will also provide everyone with a free packet of organically grown swamp milkweed from her garden. Milkweed is a beloved nectar plant of many insects and the host plant for the Monarch butterfly.
