Late breaking news.... Now that we have our soil prepared, we are ready to plant our butterfly garden. The scholars have researched native butterflies and their host and nectar plants. They have made a scale model of the garden and planned where to place each plant. The first phase of our planting is scheduled for March 27 when the SEAK club from Southwestern can come and help.
