A Teacher's Guide
to Creating a School Butterfly Garden
The ideas and information in this section come from an article written by Jennifer
Goodwin Smith
in the January 1995 issue of Science and Children (p. 29-32). She planned and planted a school
butterfly garden with sixth and seventh graders in Maryland, and wrote the article to make it
easier for others to do similar projects.
