Webster Elementary School Butterfly Garden

11/27/2018

A butterfly garden installed by Master Gardener Volunteers in front of the Webster Elementary School has yielded a number of butterflies this year. The 4th grade garden buddies harvested milkweed pods this fall, separated the seeds and distributed them to interested families at an open house with instructions. In addition to the Butterfly Garden MGVs have also volunteered in their school vegetable garden working with the teacher on a farm to table concept.

The children have applied their learning to the garden and area families are provided instructions on providing a food source to pollinators.

This is a 2018 success story from Burnett County.
