Julia and I headed up to Rockville this morning for the Flower Buds program at Brookside Gardens. Evelyn went to this monthly preschool program when we first moved here, and she loved it. The program is still going strong and definitely worth the drive and the $5 activity fee.
Today's theme was butterflies. The teacher read a couple of books about butterflies, and she showed the kids a poster of the life cycle of a butterfly. Then we headed to the tables to plant butterfly gardens. Each preschooler got a HUGE pot, and they planted four different butterfly-attracting plants in them: milkweed, parsley, zinnia and heliotrope. This guy will love living on our sunny deck...now let's see if it attracts any butterflies!
