Children seek out Monarch butterflies to tag

The Snetsinger Butterfly Garden is a living classroom that offers an ever changing backdrop for learning.
From our school satellite garden programs, to our summer programming, Master Gardeners provide a variety of on- and off-site educational events, activities, and opportunities to teach environmental stewardship. |
School Satellite gardens
Master Gardeners work with schools, neighborhoods, and community organizations to develop pollinator friendly habitats, or "satellite" gardens of the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden. Master Gardeners provide educational instruction and assistance with planning and developing these gardens. Read More

monarch tagging
Every September we say farewell to the Monarchs as they make their way south to overwinter in Mexico. Master Gardeners support a series of Monarch tagging events where children (and adults too!) are encouraged to catch and tag Monarch's so we may better understand their migratory habits.
