11th Annual Butterfly and Bird Festival Date: Sunday, June 13, 2010 Time:10 AM to 3 PM Location: Coyote Hills Regional Park ,80000 Patterson Ranch Road,Fremont, California, 94555 This is a very special venue so we make the extra effort to travel the 60+ miles to attend this event. In addition to the great workshops and overall program, they have one of the most beautiful butterfly gardens around. We always make time to walk around to see what is new and to get ideas. We first saw it when it was just a hill with lots of weeds and they were beginning to create this unique garden. Additionally, the festival has a variety of booths all nestled in this very unusual and special park. They have great bird watching, as well, for anyone who is a birder. We will have milkweed for sale as well as to share information about butterfly gardening. Please join us for a wonderful day at this event in this unique and wonderful place. For more information about this event call (510) 544-3215
