FALLBROOK – Southern California Butterflies and Butterfly Gardens, a free residential workshop, was attended by about 70 local residents on May 20. Hosted by the Mission Resource Conservation District, Bethany Principe gave the introduction followed by a watershed presentation given by Tom Merriman of The Butterfly Farms in Encinitas.
A dozen milkweed plants, which are favorable to Monarch butterfly reproduction, were given in a drawing after the talk.
The grand prize – a membership to the Butterfly Farms and also a pass to 300 other butterfly breeding facilities in the U.S. – was won by Laurie Nixon of Fallbrook.
"I came here to learn more about Monarchs," said a thrilled Nixon.
