We had so much fun putting the plants into the ground. We used the butterfly enclosure to put painted lady caterpillars and monarch caterpillars (at different times, Monarch are toxic to painted lady) and watched them consume the leaves, get huge, form a cocoons, hatch into butterflies and then we released the butterflies back into the garden. We did this once or twice a week during summer school. The students learned so much and had a blast while doing it.\r\n\r\nPlus, we will have more butterflies coming back over and over again, since they were released in the garden.","fullyFundedDate":1746478266356,"projectUrl":"project/sel-butterfly-garden-for-special-day-pro/9133937/","projectTitle":"SEL Butterfly Garden for Special Day Program Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dennert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7944328_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630190902186","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7944328"},{"teacherId":7944328,"projectId":9143255,"letterContent":"These boxes arriving made me so excited!!

It has gray peas growing at the top and two fish (Larry and Jerry) plus a snail (Gary) in the tank. All are thriving.
