Of all the triad butterfly reports this year\, Maries by far have had the most butterflies. In large part\, this is because Marie has spent years reintroducing caterpillar host plants and butterfly nectar plants on what was once her family’s 70-acre+ working farm. For those interested in Monarch butterflies\, she has more than 25 species of the milkweed host plants. This hard work has paid off. She probably has more butterfly species visiting and breeding on her property than any other location in Guilford County. \nMarie said in an email: \nLast year I had the most species of butterflies in mid August so I think we should plan for August 12 with August 19 as the second option depending on weather. Of course there is no guarantee of what we see\, but there should be a lot of swallowtails\, skippers\, and some hairstreaks maybe. \nI think the start time should be 9:30 so that we can have from 10:00-12:00 to look for butterflies before the main heat of the day. \nParking will be at 1111 Bales Chapel in Jamestown. \nNote that there are no rest rooms available; be sure to make a “pit stop” in town before you continue to the Poteat property. In addition\, you will have to bring everything you need including water\, a snack\, a folding chair\, a butterfly field guide\, and\, if you have them\, binoculars and a camera. \nMarie is limiting the number of participants to about 10 – 12 people. If you want to join in on this butterfly walk\, you MUST register by contacting Marie at the email address below. \nSummary: Butterfly walk\, 8-12-23\, Marie Poteat Property\, 1111 Bales Chapel\, Jamestown\, NC beginning at 9:30 a.m. Limited to 10-12 participants. YOU MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE! \n  URL:https://www.carolinabutterflysociety.org/event/marie-poteats-property-jamestown-nc/ LOCATION:Marie Poteat’s Property – Guilford County\, NC\, 1111 Bales Chapel Rd\, Jamestown\, NC\, 27282\, United States CATEGORIES:Triad Chapter Event ORGANIZER;CN="Marie Poteat":MAILTO:marie.poteat@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230708T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230708T140000 DTSTAMP:20260620T114856 CREATED:20230613T020622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230613T020622Z UID:6473-1688814000-1688824800@www.carolinabutterflysociety.org SUMMARY:Loretta Lutman’s Home Butterfly Garden 2023 (Randolph County\, NC) DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 8\, 2023\, the Triad Chapter of CBS (Carolina Butterfly Society) has been invited to a butterfly walk at Loretta Lutman’s extensive private butterfly garden in Randolph County that has many nectar plants all around her house. In addition\, she has installed her “blue garden\,” a sculpture garden of butterfly images with blue being the dominant color. This is a beautiful addition to all her planted beds. \nLoretta has previously stated\, “The tour of my garden includes photos of what was once a scrubby wooded lot with no sun\, to a full-fledged butterfly garden full of nectar plants with the surrounding woodlands supplying host plants. Around and in back of the house are several butterfly sculptures in the ‘blue’ garden. After your tour\, sit a spell in the gazebo (with fans)\, view the garden\, and enjoy butterflies\, skippers\, and the surprise goldfinches that come to forage on coneflower petals. Listen to the delightful sound of the waterfall sprinkler.” \nAs well as developing her own extensive butterfly garden\, Loretta has spent many years as a volunteer working at the nearby NC Zoo in their butterfly gardening efforts. She also is the author of a scientifically accurate children’s book on the butterfly life cycle. \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact Loretta Lutman at the email address below to RSVP and obtain her address (which\, for privacy and security concerns\, is not published here).

The Bethabara Gardens are beautiful\, historically significant places to explore. When the Moravians settled Bethabara in the early 1750s\, one of the first things they established were the gardens. The Medicinal Garden contained plants that were used to treat stomach aches\, headaches\, and\, most commonly\, intestinal worms\, which were significant ailments to both people and livestock in the 18th century. The Pollinator Garden was not planted by the Moravians\, but this new garden preserves their tradition and values of respecting and understanding of the balance of nature. The entire park encompasses 183 acres of preserved wildlife\, historic buildings and grounds\, walking and birding trails\, and protected wetlands but we will initially be exploring the gardens listed above.

The address is 1111 Bales Chapel Rd.\, Jamestown\, NC 27282. Pull in through the gate and park in front of the old house. Please arrive early to get parked properly. \nIf you look at the emails you receive on Triad butterfly activities\, you have seen many beautiful photos of butterflies on Marie’s property. This is our opportunity to see some of those butterflies in person. Marie has spent many years restoring native plants on her family property while eliminating invasive species. For those interested in Monarch butterflies\, she has more than 25 species of the milkweed host plants. This hard work has paid off. She probably has more butterfly species visiting and breeding on her property than any other location in Guilford County. \nIn planning for your morning outing in Jamestown\, you should be aware that there are NO restroom facilities available. Be sure to make a “pit stop” somewhere in Jamestown before continuing to the property. Bring your own water to drink\, and dress for summer weather\, including using tick protection. \nMarie would like to have some idea of how many people she should plan to accommodate. Consequently\, please contact her by early Friday evening to let her know that you’re planning to come and for last minute instructions. Keep in mind that this is a large property. If you don’t let her know you’re coming or you arrive late\, the group may be elsewhere on the property when you get there. \nCoordinator: Marie Poteat Please contact Marie if you plan to attend.
