Help close the gap between urban students and nature
The Florida Museum of Natural History is raising funds and accepting plant donations for butterfly gardens in area schools.
The Butterfly Garden program brings Florida Museum educators and scientists to Alachua County schools, community centers and afterschool programs to plant butterfly gardens and conduct workshops on pollinators and insects.
