Green Team Plants Monarch Waystation

Green Team members ready to plant on a rainy spring day.

 

Green Team students met one rainy afternoon to plant milkweed and nectar plants in the Learning Gardens.  The new Monarch Waystation will support the monarch butterflies that migrate through our area every spring and fall on their way to and from Mexico. Monarch caterpillars will munch on the three types of milkweed we planted, and the adult butterflies will drink the nectar from the goldenrod, asters, brown-eyed susans, and other flowering plants. To find out more about the amazing monarch migration, and how you can plant a monarch waystation in your own yard, visit http://monarchwatch.org/waystations/.

Dirty hands = good work!
