Your Granby School Garden is officially OPEN for the new growing season!!!! 👏🏻🤸💐🌟 We are pretty certain the kids were VERY excited to return back to their beloved school garden space this week 🥰… and we (the garden ladies ☺️) were equally as excited to see so many smiling faces after the very long, cold winter ! Enjoy the video below, it will warm your heart! 🩷
“The Garden is Open!”
We 🩷 the happy excitement that the children have when we write the word “OPEN” on our garden whiteboard ! 🥰
Today, Miss Susan and the 5th graders released a male Monarch into the world ! 🦋 Fun Fact : Male Monarchs have small black spots on their wings that serve as pheromone glands to attract female Monarchs! We had fun telling the kids that the male Monarchs wear cologne to smell nice for the female Monarchs! ☺️
Eastern Black Swallowtail ovipositing on dill
It’s butterfly season! 🎉🦋 This Eastern Black Swallowtail visited the Granby Garden yesterday in search of host plants to lay or oviposit her eggs. 🥰(pic of the egg in the comments)
On Planting Day students planted dill, parsley, and celery that are host plants for these swallowtails, plus the Golden Alexanders in the wildflower meadows and butterfly habitat are host plants. These host plants provide food for the swallowtail caterpillars, and at the garden we’ve learned that if you plant it, they will come (maybe even the same day!!)!
We’d love to know plants you have growing at home for butterflies and their caterpillars!
