Austin Butterfly Forum February Meeting

@ Happy new year! Welcome back members and visitors. We hope everyone had a restorative holiday season! We are kicking off 2026 with a special presentation on butterfly gardening. Who doesn’t want more butterflies in their garden? In this class we will discuss all the ways to bring the magic of butterflies to your home. By learning what different butterflies need, we can create a buffet of host and nectar plants throughout the year, to encourage them to stop and stay awhile. Learn tried and true combinations to ensure you will be their next visit. This hybrid (zoom and in-person) meeting is free to attend and open to the public. In-person attendees are encouraged to bring snacks or refreshments to share. Doors open for socialization at 6:30 PM.
