[Pollinator] Monarch Watch Open House a Success

[Ladadams at aol.com]

The Open House was like no other. We had at least 1000 people visit  
Monarch Watch last Saturday (twice the usual number) and we gave out  
over 450 chrysalids to the children in attendance. The weather was 
less  than ideal - cloudy with occasional rain and not a one of the 
200  butterflies in the Biohouse so much as opened their wings but it 
didn't seem  to matter to our visitors. The garden (Monarch Waystation 
#1) so carefully  nurtured by Margarete Johnson and her colleagues 
among the Douglas County  Master Gardeners, was spectacular. With a 
little sun the garden would have  been filled with butterflies as well 
as fantastic flowers.

My thanks  to all and especially to the Monarch Watch crew, 
particularly Jim Lovett and  Ann Ryan, who made this event  possible.
