Butterfly Celebration

Homefields Care Farm is alive with butterflies, and we need your help to count them.Join us for a fun-filled, family friendly day to celebrate butterflies. 

Participants will receive a butterfly guide and will join members of the Lancaster Butterfly Club in a walk of the farm property to identify and record all butterfly species found on the farm as part of the National Butterfly count. In addition to counting butterflies the farm will be a literal hive of activity. We’ll be offering a workshop on butterfly gardening where our experts will teach you about butterfly host plants and nectar plants. 

Participants can also assist in installing a new butterfly garden at Homefields farm. Learn about the natural history of butterflies and their amazing life cycle and behaviors from butterfly experts who will be happy to answer all your questions. And be sure to take some time to enjoy butterfly themed snacks while local artist Carol Welsh demonstrates techniques for creating watercolor paintings of butterflies. We hope you can join us and the butterflies at Homefields Care Farm.
