Greenville – June 30, 2018: Darke County Parks naturalist will host a free program to the public on the basics of butterfly gardening. Join us on June 30th at 3pm as we explore which plants attract the most butterflies, as well as other tricks to keep these important pollinators thriving. Did you know some butterflies take in minerals through a behavior called “puddling”? Learn about this and other habits to provide a suitable space for your garden visitors. We will discover which flowers and structures will have butterflies and other native pollinators returning again and again to your garden.
