This annual tradition, initiated by Florida native and renowned scientist Ri McGlamery, is upheld each year by the Chipley Garden Club. During this event, club members work to remove invasive weeds and plant native Florida species. These native plants are marked for identification and are specifically chosen to attract butterflies.
