Local children between the ages of 4 and 14 are invited to attend a workshop in Ocala this weekend that will teach them about butterflies.
The Children’s Butterfly Workshop will be held on Saturday, July 9, and a second workshop will also take place on Saturday, July 23, at the Garden Spot of the Sunshine State located at 5960 S Pine Avenue.
During the workshop, participating children will visit the nursery and learn about the lifecycle of a butterfly. The event is free to attend, and there will also be butterfly habitats ($11) and milkweed plants ($7) available for purchase.
In addition to learning about butterflies, the children will enjoy an interactive game, and each child will also receive a complimentary tote bag filled with books from the Early Learning Coalition of Marion County.
The one-hour workshop will be presented at 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on both workshop dates, and registration is required before the day of the event.
