Detroit School wins grant for pollinator garden

The Oliver Wendell Holmes Elementary School in Detroit has won a grant for Fly, Baby, Fly!:


This project will create a safe haven for butterflies to return to an urban area, bringing excitement, pollination, and enjoyment by students and community members alike.

Designed and maintained by students, it will become part of an outdoor learning environment for all children in this neighborhood school.

The grant was awarded by Monarch Live.

This school is featured in the PBS documentary, Where to the Children Play.
