Educational Outreach
Building a Stronger STEM
Experiences outside the classroom enhance and strengthen learning. Installing a Monarch Butterfly garden and offering a complementary educational seminar on the evolution of the Monarch Butterfly and host plant milkweed will be a one of a kind didactic experience for your students.

֍ Your students will appreciate your commitment to making their school beautiful
֍ Your garden will be a perennial declaration of support for threatened Monarch Butterflies
֍ A lecture & Monarch interactive Jeopardy-style game will entertain & offer unique learning
