The Milkweed’s Home

Did you know that Milkweed is the only plant that monarch butterfly caterpillars can eat? We learned this from the Groundwork Elizabeth team!

We are excited for the students in the summer helping out with the garden to watch the plants grow!! Be on the lookout for Monarch Butterflies 😊
