There were 200 butterflies released Saturday at the Greensburg Garden Center’s Lefevre Butterfly Garden.
The annual butterfly release was free this year, thanks to funding from the Second Chance Fund of the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County.
The event included a marketplace of butterfly-related items and displays of books and other educational materials. Diana Sanner of Murrysville was scheduled to give a short puppet program on the monarch’s lifecycle. Turner Dairy Farms provided free lemonade.
Butterfly experts say there’s a trick to getting butterflies to alight on you once they’re released: just dab a little vanilla behind your ears.
