Join us for a summer evening where butterflies, blossoms, and big dreams come together. Enjoy light bites and refreshments in the future Hope Garden before heading to the North Barn to learn about the magical lives of monarch butterflies and the vital role pollinators play in our regional ecosystem.
From milkweed to monarchs, Emily Wrubel and Retreat Farm board member Judy Fink will share photos, videos, stories, and offer glimpses of what they've learned about the amazing monarch life cycle, and ways we can help butterflies and all pollinators flourish at the Farm and beyond.
This event is being presented in support of the Farm's exciting efforts to revitalize the Hope Garden—bringing together community partners, Farm staff, and new hope to this special space. Join us for an evening of learning and celebration.
$10 per person and kids under 2 are free.
