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.

Caterpillars in the garden

There are at least 15 black swallowtail caterpillars on the fennel and parsley in the garden. Hopefully, there will be some of the caterpillars and chrysalises in the garden when school starts in 12 days!
