ID Challenge : Butterflies
One of the most beautiful gardens is at the Medina River Oaks Courts, who hosts our 2nd Saturday Nature Talks. Stroll the gardens and see which flowers you can find and identify in the garden. It's a perfect activity after a coffee, breakfast or lunch in the Art House Cafe. Or, come on out and enjoy the dinner, sunset and a stroll through the garden after a relaxing dinner and music on the patio. The garden is installed and carefully watched by Medina Garden Nursery on the other side of downtown Medina. Less than a mile away, feel free to drop in on Yshmael to learn more about these plants - and take a few home for your own garden.
