In the fall, monarch butterflies are on the move, headed south for the winter. Join other insect investigators to learn more about migrating monarchs, as well as the ones that call Houston home year-round. Participants will learn how to help these endangered beauties, and even take home a plant to feed monarchs in their own yard.

Non-member free — $20 per adult, $10 per child — includes general admission to the Garden and a take-home plant. Adult members of the Garden can attend for a discounted fee of just $5, and children of members at the Family level and up are free.

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for daytime events, which are held rain or shine. This Insect Investigators class will be held in a climate-controlled tent. If you have specific questions, please email education@hbg.org.​
