Monarch Butterfly Workshop

A grow-your-own health projectCommon Roots Urban Farm is a hybrid garden right in front of QEII Emergency, where the Queen Elizabeth High School once stood, downtown Halifax.  Our mission is to promote healthy lifestyles and landscapes through hands-on education about growing and eating healthy food.  Our vision is of healthy people connected to their food, each other, and the natural environment.Follow the hashtag #CommonRootsHFX

Common Roots Urban Farm

Join us on the farm to learn about the amazing Monarch Butterfly and other pollinators! This workshop is being presented by Emma Beaton from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, funded by the TD Friends of the Environment fund. After a brief lecture-style lesson on the importance of pollinators, we will plant some plants key for creating a butterfly friendly garden. 
Emma Beaton recently graduated from Dalhousie University with a BSc in Biology. She is an avid gardener, backyard birder, and is currently working as a summer research assistant at Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
As this workshop is being funded by TD Friends of the Environment fund, there is no cost to attendance (though donations would be greatly appreciated) and online registration is greatly appreciated. If you would be interested in purchasing a milkweed transfer and butterfly info kit ($10 for two plants and information) email zbeymac@gmail.com prior to the workshop.
