One Spark Academy’s Monarch Butterfly Garden is filled with blooming native narrow leaf milkweed! This is the only source of food and shelter for the caterpillar of the Monarch Butterfly. Several Monarch caterpillars have been spotted! The caterpillar will create a button of silk on a branch, the underside of a sturdy leaf, or other sheltered surfaces where it hangs upside down in a “J Hook” to make its chrysalis, where it stays for several days before emerging as a butterfly.

The old, always vacant, box had been facing the wrong direction for 15 years! His garden is abundantly growing strawberries, cucumber pickles, tomatoes, kale, and peppers.

In the new Community Garden Owl Box, two baby Barn Owls are growing quickly with two or three feedings a night of mice, rabbit, rat, or gopher! The owlets are giant pr***en cotton balls. When not waiting for a meal, they generally spend their time grooming, flapping, napping, and posing.
