Conservatory Displays
Saturday, May 5 through Sunday, September 16, 2012
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily
Beginning in early May and running daily through Mid- September, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 p.m., Brookside Gardens South Conservatory will feature live butterflies. Come witness the butterfly life cycle as tiny eggs hatch into crawling, chewing caterpillars, which then encase themselves in jewel-like chrysalides and emerge as sipping, flying adult butterflies. Learn about the best annual and tropical plants, and hardy shrubs that are used as nectar sources to attract butterflies to your own garden.
