Monarch Migration Festival

Celebrate Monarch Butterfly Migration!

It is time for Monarch butterflies to migrate back south to Mexico. That means we will be seeing them pass through Texas soon! Come celebrate with us!

This is a FREE family event to learn about Monarch butterfly migration and how to create your own pollinator garden to support Monarchs.

Saturday, October 23

10 am to 4 pm

Fort Worth Botanic Gardens

Fun for the whole family:

• Kids activities – including a free gift for completing a full “migration”
• Kids learn about butterfly metamorphosis
• Talk to butterfly and plant experts
• See examples of Milkweeds and other pollinator-friendly plants
• Get free native wildflower seeds
• Learn about Monarch butterflies and gardening for pollinators

The event will be held under the trees in the “Grove” area of the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens.

Park off of I-30 and Montgomery to enter the gardens for this free event. The entrance to the parking lot is just before you reach Montgomery on the I-30 access road, behind the antique mall.
