Admire the Butterflies: Local Green Events

Learn about Butterflies and Their Importance in the Environment 


One important aspect of living a green life is attending and appreciating local eco-friendly and greenliving events.  

Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland is hosting their annual "Wings of Fancy Live Butterfly and Caterpillar Exhibit", beginning this month, on April 18, in the Gardens' South Conservatory Building.  Wings of Fancy is an exhibit that focuses on butterflies and describes the impact these insects have on the environment.  The exhibit ends in September.

A center-piece of the exhibit is that attendees can watch hundreds of butterflies flying around the Conservatory.  In addition to the exhibit, people of all ages can enjoy several related butterfly events during Wings of Fancy:

Wings of Fancy Butterfly Birthday Party: Host a birthday party at Brookside Gardens during the Wings of Fancy exhibit.

Garden after Dark: Wings and Wine: Enjoy an evening of refreshments with an opportunity to learn about butterflies.  This event will take place on Wednesday, May 9.

Pollinator Party and Garden Camp: Learn more about pollinators and plants during this event.  This event will take place from Monday, June 18 through Friday, June 22.

Focus on Butterflies: Perfect for photographers, register in advance for "Focus on Butterflies" for a chance to take pictures of the exhibit before it officially opens to the public on Saturdays and Sundays.  Register online for this program.

Register for these events and learn more about Wings of Fancy on the Montgomery Parks website.
