Geneva Green Market: Geneva, Illinois – A Local Food Green Farmers Market

The Natural Garden offers a butterfly gardening class.

Who is that in my garden? How can I attract more?! Some butterflies, like the Monarch, are so easily recognized.  But who else is visiting your flowers?  We’ll talk a bit about identifying other common butterflies and how you can attract more to your garden.  If weather permits, we will have some live butterflies to help us in our learning.
