2022 Urquhart Butterfly Garden Summer Photo Contest
The 2022 Urquhart Butterfly Garden Summer Photo Contest kicks off on June 6th and runs through Labour Day Weekend to September 6th.
Photographers of all ages are eligible for cash awards in four categories:
Fancy Camera equipment is not needed. Many great photos have been taken with cell phones. What is required is patience and a good eye for an interesting photograph.
The Urquhart Butterfly Garden is full of life! Butterflies are already being seen daily, including Monarchs and Mourning Cloaks. Look closely and you may see young rabbits, garter snakes sunning themselves, and tiny voles popping out between the rocks.
Between June 6th and September 6th when you visit the Garden you will see a variety of beautiful flowers and plants which support the lives of butterflies, insects and birds.
The Photo Contest begins June 6th and ends September 6th. Entry information and rules will be available at the Urquhart Butterfly Garden or can be viewed on the Urquhart Butterfly Garden website at: https://urquhartbutterfly.com
The Urquhart Butterfly Garden is located between Centennial Park and Canal Park at the end of the Desjardins Canal. Parking is available on King Street East at the entrance to the Garden.

Spring is here and we are rushing into summer.
At the Urquhart Butterfly Garden there are two new people who you will see very busy gardening:
-Anne Mette Pedersen is our new gardener
-Nancy Wylie has taken on the task of Assistant Coordinator.
In addition Nancy has recruited a great collection of new volunteers.
The Summer Photo Contest will begin on June 6 and runs until Labour Day. The photo contest submission form will be posted on June 6th.
We have already seen our first Monarch, which is really early for us – unfortunately it did not stop for a photo. Also a Spring Azure, American Ladies and Mourning Cloaks have been spotted.
Our annuals will be arriving within the next 2 weeks, and we will be getting ready for a glorious summer. We look forward to seeing you.
Congratulations to the winners in the Winter Photo Contest! You braved the weather and took some lovely photos. As one of the judges said: “It is always interesting to see what people notice on their walks in the Butterfly Garden and Canal Park”.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Good Luck for the Summer Photo Contest which begins in June.

Spring is in the air, and it looks like a rainy one.
The fully renovated Tree Swallow boxes are all mounted in Canal Park and we have a couple unexpected new residents checking out the real estate. Mark Williams managed to take lovely photographs of the new family on the block, and we hope they settle in successfully.
The results of the Winter Photo Contest will be announced on March 31, so look for them on this website.
Best wishes from our Team.
