Gizzard, a great project for elementary school kids. I just did an online order with American Meadows out of Vermont for a 1/4 pound of sunflower seeds and 10 packs of their butterfly Garden Mini-packets. Had them shipped to the Sheriffs Dept. Ami

I have some sunflower seed I just bought that I can mail tomorrow, and when I check the rest of my seed I will probably have some seed left from my butterfly garden.

Great project,

my 6 year old granddaughter is learning/loving to garden with her Nanny (me). I love to watch her face as she learns new skills, I bought her a little pink hoe today and I am off work tomorrow; BOY will we have fun.

Gizzard - I have a lot of tithonia - Mexican sunflower - the orange ones. If someone hasn't sent them, let me know! They are absolute butterfly magnets starting with the swallowtails and ending with tons of monarches. Piegirl
