Charlottesville, VA – The Botanical Garden of the Piedmont is sponsoring three butterfly walks this summer on acreage in McIntire Park that will be developed into the botanical garden in the future. The dates are:

Sunday, July 10, 10:30 a.m. – noon
Friday, August 19, 10:30 a.m. – noon

Participants will explore the park’s rolling hills, forests and fields to look for and identify the butterflies and also venture into the City of Charlottesville’s new butterfly garden.

Walkers will assemble at the Melbourne Road entrance to the garden, near the intersection with the John W. Warner Parkway and across the street from Charlottesville High School’s stadium.
