Children's Educational Program
The Children's Educational Program was developed in 2010 as an on-going project of the Norchester Garden Club. The program provides an active learning experience in the Matzke Park Butterfly Garden for school children, daycare children, children with special needs, and for the community.
The focus of the program is to teach children and others that the garden is there to enjoy, to look for signs of the butterfly life-cycle, and to leave the garden untouched for others to enjoy.
Each 45-minute program features a presentation by a master storyteller of the story of Catherine the Caterpillar's life cycle as a Monarch butterfly. This is followed by an age-appropriate activity such as a scavenger hunt and a take-home craft project.
Please check for upcoming events or contact us if your group is interested in this program.
