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.

Changes in the garden



One new plant in our garden is called Salvia mexicana 'Limelight' (Mexican Sage) It has chartreuse green and violet-blue flowers.


The milkweed seed pods have been bursting open-




The garden has a new sign- thanks to King Glass for letting us have some plexiglass and to Mr. E.T. Nettles for his help in attaching the painted sign to a wood frame!




                                            Lion's Ear is a new addition.








Mexican Bush Sage has been planted to replace the plants that were originally planted.
