On Wednesday, April 17, Brookside Gardens’ annual Wings of Fancy butterfly exhibit opens at the park’s South Conservatory and runs through September 22. Visitors will learn about the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, the important role butterflies play in healthy ecosystems, and how to help them thrive in home gardens. All of the while, you will be surrounded by hundreds of brilliant butterflies from North America, Costa Rica, Africa and Asia.
