Event Details:

The City of Dieppe, in cooperation with Les Ami.e.s de la nature du sud-est du N.-B., has created a milkweed garden to provide a feeding and breeding ground for the monarch butterfly. At the caterpillar stage, the monarch feeds exclusively on milkweed, a native perennial plant.

The garden will be unveiled at a launch near the Aquatic and Sports Centre parking lot on July 27 at 10:30 a.m. A flight of monarch butterflies will be released during the launch, conditions permitting. An original work of art designed for the occasion by artist Heather Lawrie-Morse will also be unveiled, and interpretive panels will be erected on site to provide details on the species. Monarch enthusiasts will be on hand to answer questions, and specimens of the butterfly will be on display.
