North Haven Junior Garden Club (JGC) kids were treated to a presentation on monarch butterflies given by North Haven Garden Club member Laurie Falco. Falco raises and releases monarch butterflies and swallowtail butterflies and shared her expertise with the kids. Along with an information packet, Falco brought in several samples of milkweed with monarch caterpillar eggs; tiny, newly hatched caterpillars; and every size in between of monarch caterpillars. At the next meeting each JGC member will receive a couple of packets of milkweed seeds to plant this fall, and will try their hand at raising monarchs next year.
