Excellent Educators, Butterfly Gardens

Join ENC Horticulture Manager Hilary Mills and ENC Butterfly Wrangler Leslie Helliwell to learn all about planting a butterfly garden and how to use it to teach science concepts to your students! Hilary will show you (and tell you all about the characteristics and needs of) some great locally native butterfly host and nectar plants. Leslie will increase your butterfly knowledge, and show you some great hands on science activities you can use in the garden (or in the classroom). The ENC Excellent Educator series brings all kinds of educators together for fun afternoons of learning exciting hands-on ways to teach children about science and nature. Everyone is invited!  Classroom teachers, outdoor educators, scout leaders and parents – anyone who wants to be a better educator.
