Backyard Habitat Gardener Camp

The LSU Hilltop Arboretum in partnership with the Louisiana Master Gardeners of East Baton Rouge Parish will hold a Backyard Habitat Gardener Camp for 7-10 year olds. A young gardener will learn that the right native plants, arranged to mimic nature, will provide butterflies all the attractions they need to be happy in your backyard or in a patio garden, and can then have the pleasure of watching a pageant of beautiful wings flutter by and drop in for a refreshing nectar luncheon. Kids will receive hands-on experience in Hilltop’s Monarch Butterfly Garden Waystation and a "Butterfly To Go" kit as a foundation for their very own butterfly garden. Nutritious snacks will be provided throughout the day; parents provide a bag lunch and drink. Friends of Hilltop Arboretum $50; for others, $85 includes annual membership. 9 am–1 pm. lsu.edu/hilltop.
