McRae Elementary School Butterfly Garden
Our Club has adopted the McRae Elementary School Butterfly Garden as a project and has worked with students at the school and Girl Scouts to maintain the garden and educate the youth about butterfly morphology and the native plants they use as nectar and host plants.
