Kids in the Garden

Discover bugs and butterflies with Farmer Jones !  We will learn what makes an insect an insect; we will turn over rocks and investigate under logs to find the tiny creatures who live all around us.  A close look at our compost will reveal sow bugs and other busy bugs. Because we have planted milkweed and passion vines, we will learn about the life cycle of our monarchs who come right to Alta Vista Gardens: the caterpillars who chew on the leaves and then metamorphose into butterflies who feed on our flowers. You will make a butterfly craft to take home.
