Thanks to Jen, a friend of the farm, we discovered the coolest little kit: a live butterfly garden.
It comes with caterpillars, a mesh net and a sponge, which you moisten with simple syrup.
You watch as the caterpillars eat and grow, grow and eat, then they settle in at the top of a little jar in their chrysalises.
You move them into their netting, where they hatch into beautiful butterflies!
After a few days, you let them go.
Best ever! Insect Lore Butterfly Garden link here. We will be doing this all summer long!
