Our checklist of butterflies recorded in the Botanic Garden currently stands at 40 species. What butterflies we see on our walks will change over the season. It’s normal to see 8 or 10 species during a one-hour walk at this time of year. Groups with especially good karma could see up to 15 species, if there’s good butterfly weather (sunny, warm, and not too windy). It is sometimes hard to get a good look with the naked eye. Please bring binoculars if you have them (close-focus binoculars work best).

I have to add – the walks got a lot of attendees once they received your email. If those folks aren’t Garden Friends yet – your emails certainly would encourage them. Your email gets them into the Garden – and that’s the important thing. Thanks for all you do!!!!

Hi Sandy,
The Garden newsletter is always scheduled to go out on the 3rd of the month to the 4000 or so subscribers. Sarab’s butterfly walks & the new fall classes will all be listed in the newsletter as well. You are wonderful on publicity.
