Lucky visitors may even be offered the opportunity to hold a hummingbird in the palm of their hand as it is released back into the garden to feed.
All pollinator species celebrated at this event including the Monarch Butterfly. Witness the wonder of Monarch butterflies in all stages of their metamorphosis,let them tickle your nose or fingertips as they are released into the gardens to make their first flights.
