We went on a field trip to the Butterfly Encounter. I thought it would be a quick tour around the gardens to look at the butterflies, a little snack, and maybe a free plant. It was actually 2 hours long and packed with information. Naomi and Mary sat through each lecture in different areas of the nursery and learned the difference between a host plant and a nectar plant, a chrysalis and a cocoon and the different parts of an insect. There wasn't a snack for the kids, but they did get to dip their hand in Gatorade and feed the butterflies. We will go back soon and maybe get some plants to make our own butterfly habitat.
