Greathouse Butterfly
Farm has a definite soft spot for teachers. Maybe it is because we are
a family of teachers.
Educational Presentations
In the ten years since we started farming butterflies
we have done presentations at public and private schools all across north
central Florida (not to mention public libraries).
Educational Tools & Resources
We are currently at work on grade specific curriculums
to help Florida’s teachers. We are developing ways to improve FCAT
scores with butterfly-centered activities.
Many
classes and groups come to our farm for educational field trips where
they learn about butterflies, insects, plants, and recycling.
Our Farm also produces Grow-A-Butterfly Kits,
Adopt-A-Butterfly Kits, Butterfly Hatcheries, and Painted Lady larvae
cultures for the use of classroom and home school teachers.
