| Butterflies at ANBG - Sunday walk - rescheduled | Sunday, 12 November 2017 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm |
Butterflies have been described as an inexhaustible of spiritual and aesthetic delight. They have a practical value as well. We all love sunlight, and we owe many glorious and sweet-scented flowers, at least those of long tubular form, to the butterflies and moths that pollinate them. This is a wonderful opportunity to observe these elusive creatures in the Gardens. Join our local expert, Suzi Bond, to see and hear about butterflies and the plants they like. It will be an easy walk: see full details of afternoon walk. NOTE: Change of date! This walk was originally scheduled for the afternoon of 18 November. Our apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the change. |
