Beginning July 6, the Caterpillar Club will make its return with a eight-week engagement on Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m. Intended for kids from pre-kindergarten through second grade, sessions will be held in the stone circle at Weezie’s Garden. If it is raining, the Club will meet in the Education Building.

Leading the Caterpillar Club will be Kathi Gariepy, who created the program in 2003. Kathi is a former pre-K and kindergarten teacher and a Lifetime Master Gardener.

Sessions will include material on flowers, insects, trees and butterflies, which will be explored through reading, demonstrations and crafts.

The Caterpillar Club is free for children visiting the Gardens at Elm Bank. The program is underwritten by the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association.
