SEPTEMBER
Children’s
Workshop-Monarch Butterflies
In
early September , Tweed and District Horticulture will be supporting
local young people as they participate in a Monarch Butterfly breeding
project. As we work with our youth, they will be able to witness each
stage in the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly and ultimately, release the
adults for their journey southward. They will learn that the fall
generation of monarchs is known as the super generation and is able to fly 4
000 km to their winter destination in the mountains of Mexico! The
children can bid them farewell and then anticipate the possible return of their
Monarch Butterflies' offspring the following growing season to pollinate our flowers.
