MONARCH WATCH FALL OPEN HOUSE
Saturday, 14 September 2024
9:00am-2:00pm
Monarch Watch, KU West Campus, Lawrence, KS

Join us at our Fall Open House at Foley Hall (KU West Campus) to celebrate the arrival of migrating monarchs coming from the north. This free event is designed to please children and adults alike.

At the Open House you can learn about creating Monarch Waystations and see the magnificent butterfly and pollinator garden created and maintained by the Douglas County Master Gardeners. Weather permitting, you will see an abundance of butterflies and numerous other small but important pollinators. On a good day over 20 species of butterflies visit the garden. Bring your cameras. It is well worth a visit.

This will be primarily an outdoor event and there will be tours of our gardens, games, activities, tagging demonstrations, monarch butterflies, caterpillars, and more!

We'd love to see you, so mark your calendars!
