Butterfly Garden at Jamestown Marina

We get asked about our plants and have some labelled...and it changes from time-to-time, but here's a current map. Brian Taber

Butterfly Garden at Jamestown Marina

Despite a drought in May, the Pipevine, which is a host for Pipevine Swallowtail, is growing nicely on the fence and the Butterfly Weed, a host for Monarchs, is blooming well. Another 40 or so types of plants make up the garden, which the Observatory has restored over the past 4 years. Visitors to the marina and Billsburg Brewery enjoy the plants and pollinators and our new sign. This male Delaware Skipper was there on May 25 establishing a new early date for the area. Brian Taber
