This blog is for the children, teachers , parents and friends of Monroe Academy. Its purpose is to provide a place to archive the Butterfly Garden and activities related to the garden. Contributions and ideas are welcome! This will also be a great resource for parents who sign up for the Butterfly Garden Committee. The garden is located next to the Preschool building, but there are plans to expand the Outdoor Classroom throughout the campus.

What do we need?
We are in need of some items for the garden. It would be great to have these items prior to the open house in April!!
These are some of the items needed:
- one large rubbermaid type container to hold tools and other items - plants –annuals like zinnias and cosmos - plants- perennials (Walmart now has a limited selection) - two or three large pots around 16 inches or more - potting soil for container gardens - any flowering plants from your yard that can be divided - large stepping stones (the concrete ones you can find at Walmart) - outdoor thermometer - rain gauge - butterfly house - bluebird house- to be placed in another area - watering can - Jiffy (or other brand) seed starting kit. - large terra cotta saucer
We have already had a donation of pine straw! Thank you!!
We also need to have a workday- to clean up the garden, add mulch, fix container gardens, and to put in brick border.
