We have always loved our school grounds including over 400 acres of woods, water, and wildlife but this year we are fully appreciating the space because it is allowing us to have our students together safely.

Kimberton Waldorf School has a beautiful campus where milkweed grows in numerous pollinator gardens and a wildflower meadow. More Swamp Milkweed was planted today by KWS students ;)

Common Milkweed bloomed today! Monarchs, we are ready!

We could smell the perfume, even before we saw the spectacular flowers.

Monarch butterflies need milkweed to survive - it is the only plant their caterpillars can eat. No milkweed = no more Monarchs. All pollinators love it - lots of nectar and pollen for bees and other butterflies.

There are many kinds of milkweed native to the Phoenixville area (14 species), and they are all very pretty and brightly colored. The bright colors attract pollinators, and people! They are showy garden plants.

If you would like to add some to your yard, check out native plant nurseries. Yellow Springs Farm Native Plant Nursery and Artisanal Goat Cheese Farm is nearby, and a delightful place to visit. The Pughtown Agway has added a large number of native plants to their garden center. Most of my usual online sources are sold out - which is sad if you want to buy some, but also encouraging because it means many, many people are planting it. If you find somewhere to buy it, please let us know!

"Children need role models ... who can gently guide them to nature with excitement, optimism and an attitude of a lifelong learner," said Miyuki Maruping, a gardening teacher at the Waldorf School of Atlanta, who wasn't involved in the research.

A connection to nature may make children happier and more eco-conscious, a recent study shows. And we all need that now.
