The Wonderful Life of the Monarch Butterfly

Content: Susie Vanderlip will discuss the life-cycle of Monarch caterpillars and butterflies, from eating milkweed to emerging from the chrysalis. She will also share advice regarding which plants and conditions will attract monarchs to your home or community garden. 

We bring our own lap-top, projector and projector screen so all we need is access to a power outlet and a small table to mount the projector and lap-top.
