We are a school that is devoted to the protection,observation, and habitate creation of the Monarch Butterfly. We have been developing a milkweed garden in the front of our school. As part of getting ready for Memorial Day, students from the school weed and remove debris from our garden. To their delight they discovered 2-3 inch high milkweed plalnts growing where we had seeded last fall. Knowing that the Monarchs are on they way, we know that we are ready to receive them back into our garden. Our end hope is that we will find more caterpillars than last year because we will have more milkweed for them to lay their eggs on.
