Following its dismantling from Navarre Park, the Panhandle Butterfly House will be relocating to the Pensacola State College/University of Florida Milton campus, located at 5988 Hwy. 90 in Milton.
The University of Florida Horticulture Student Club and the Panhandle Butterfly House will be having a fall plant sale Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the shade house behind the greenhouses at UF Milton Gardens at the back or north end of the Pensacola State College/University of Florida Milton campus, 5988 Hwy. 90 in Milton.
Native milkweed, fall-blooming perennials, and other plants will be offered for sale. The proceeds benefit scholarship funds for the horticulture students and educational activities of the Panhandle Butterfly House.
