Hood County – Monarch Butterflies & Pollinator Plants

Romancing the Monarch butterfly festival
Join Lake Granbury Master Gardeners on the first Saturday in October at their Demonstration Garden, 1410 W. Pearl St., Granbury, Tx 76048, (behind Hood County Annex I) for the annual Romancing the Monarch butterfly festival. See monarchs attracted to the botanical welcome mat of pollinating garden plants and increase awareness of the monarch migration through Hood County. Visitors will learn how to identify monarch butterflies, see visuals of the monarch life cycle and participate in tagging monarchs to track their migration to Mexico. Butterflies will be released and come to rest on watermelon for their refreshment. Face painting, scavenger hunt and other activities are planned for children.
