September 2024 Monthly Meeting — Rita Venable
Public Welcome Free Event Chapter Meeting Program/Speaker Presentation Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains
Note: Our September 2024 hybrid meeting will be on the fifth Monday of the month rather than our usual fourth Monday to avoid conflict with Joanna Brichetto's new book event at Parnassus Books on September 23.
Presentation: Rita Venable will unveil an updated version of her most popular presentation, A Home for Butterflies. What kind of real estate do butterflies look for when choosing a home? Do they like what they see, smell and taste at your garden or do they turn up their antennae and look elsewhere? This presentation will focus on what butterflies need and how to plan your garden space. It will include a list of top nectaring plants for Tennessee butterflies. Also, we will discuss hostplants - “including trees” - for butterflies.
Bio: Rita is the author of the popular field guide, “Butterflies of Tennessee.” She is also a host for the TV show “Volunteer Gardener.” She has published numerous articles and photographs in literary publications, newspapers, and magazines. Follow the Read More link for more details.
