7/21/2020 0 Comments Caterpillars have ARRIVED!While our new garden at the moment is too young (and too chewed) to support pollinators, doesn't mean that other areas of the library grounds aren't thriving. So we will be doing our annual butterfly release. We purchased extras this year to make the release special. So we will be releasing a possible total of 24 butterflies if all goes well. So yesterday our caterpillars finally arrived, you can stop by the library to watch their growth or follow them on Facebook or here in the Garden blog But this year we've done something special. As part of the Greening program we purchased an additional 30 butterflies for kids to take one home. During our Butterfly Dance program (click Activities to register for this event) you will learn to make a butterfly house and have a caterpillar to take home with you. Any butterflies that don't get homes, will be added to the library's own butterfly release. The date will be announced based on butterfly emergence so keep an eye out for that date. |
This project was made possible in part by a grant from the RI Office of Library and Information Services using funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
