For Teachers

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.

This is a picture of children arriving on a school bus.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.
