Atherton's Butterfly Garden Install

Creating spaces for butterflies to exist is very important to me, especially since our butterfly population seems to shrink more with each passing year.  I was thrilled to be able to help the patrons install a butterfly garden at the Atherton Library.  I taught the adults what the best plants were to have in the garden, then had the children put all the plants into pots. The adults painted butterfly houses (yes, they are real), while the children created a 3-D butterfly to take home.  Everyone loved this program! One little boy thanked me for teaching him so much; as did the older gentleman pictured.
