Butterfly Waystation

The sixth grade began planning this in science class in the fall when the monarchs stop by PDS on their migration south.

They located at area on campus that was already wild, got permission and then planned how to add plant diversity to attract and support butterflies on their journey.

Here they are planting milkweed and asters and other late blooming plants.

Luckily we had a good soaking later in the day so the plants are off to a good start.
