What is this all about?

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.

BUTTERFLY WEED AND MONARCH CATERPILLARS

Yesterday, we found two monarch caterpillars on the butterfly weed plant.

The butterfly weed was a new addition to the garden this spring, and it is one of the few plants on which a monarch butterfly will lay its eggs.
