North Carolina Native Plant Society Monthly Meeting, 8/9
Our program this month will be “Gardening for Butterflies” and will be
presented by Dr. Annkatrin Rose, Associate Professor of Biology at ASU.
Annkatrin has established a thriving butterfly habitat in her backyard,
certified as a Butterfly Garden with the North American Butterfly
Association (NABA) and as a Monarch Waystation with Monarch Watch. Over
the last couple of years, she has raised monarch caterpillars for
educational events and shared them with local schools. Her presentation
will cover butterfly habitat basics and survey which plants attract and
support our butterflies living in the High Country.
