Saturday workshop details how to attract butterflies to your garden - March 8

What do butterflies look for in a garden? John Jaeger knows, and he'll share his expertise in a Butterfly Garden Workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 8, at Crabtree Farms, 1000 E. 30th St. The workshop will cover host plants certain caterpillars need, attracting adults and creating a safe environment by avoiding pesticides. Jaeger is a retired naturalist from Toledo, Ohio, who helped restore habitats for the reintroduction of the endangered Karner blue butterfly. He has extensive knowledge of butterflies of the Ohio and Tennessee regions. The workshop is free for members, $10 for nonmembers.
