Connect with nature at the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden. We will design the composition using shapes and colours of the endangered Richmond Birdwing butterfly, and learn how to draw the details and texture of their bodies and wings. Participants will complete an original artwork of the butterfly in flight, or landing on their host plant, the Richmond birdwing butterfly vine. Whilst the artworks are drying, go for a wander in the new Butterfly Garden nearby. All materials supplied.

Connect with nature at the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden. Calling all little scientists! Come and have some hands-on fun in the new Butterfly Garden, learning how scientists study insects in the natural world. Working in teams, we’ll set up a simple survey line through the area. We'll observe and make notes, section by section, looking for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The group will then come back together to collate and discuss the data and then have some fun doing pollinator-inspired craft. This activity encourages curiosity, teamwork and careful observation, while giving children experience using scientific methods in an age-appropriate, enjoyable way.
Join Karen Shaw for a hands-on workshop on how to create butterfly-friendly gardens. Led by Karen Shaw of Brush Turkey Enterprises and Forest Heart ecoNursery, this session draws on Karen’s deep passion for native plant diversity and her long-standing commitment to fostering healthy, resilient habitats.
