Butterfly Hello

Spring is in the air. The stage is set for butterflies. Bring your camera to snap some shots as this year’s first butterflies are released into their new home. Watch those butterflies stretch their wings and sip nectar as you walk through a garden designed to meet these insects’ every need. Arrive early to talk with herb experts and purchase herbs to plant in your own yard. Two butterfly events join forces to celebrate spring. Butterfly Thyme — the herb sale — and Butterfly Hello — the opening of the Butterfly Station and Garden at the Danville Science Center — are Saturday, April 17. Butterfly Thyme is 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Butterfly Hello is 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
