Butterfly gardens

    Date Posted: Tue, Sep 27 - 5:13 pm

    Question

  • I have an after school group at Laburnum Elementary. We will be studying a unit on butterfly gardens and the principal is allowing us to build one. Is there any way to get volunteers to help us build or a guest speaker to address the group?

    • Answer

  • Hello there, Thank you for your inquiry. I need to check in with the other MGs to see what we can do. If you would answer a few questions, we'll be better able to address your request. How many students are in the after-school program? Is it just one garden you want to build? If so, what is the approximate size of the garden? Do you have time frame for it's completion? This information will help us move forward, I'll let you know what can be done once we have the parameters of the project. Please send another question (with the above questions answered) through the virtual help desk and I'll get back to you. It sounds like a fun project!
