"Sowing the Seeds of Harmony through Nature"
About this committee:
The Butterfly Garden is an on-going project that provides visual enjoyment for numerous visitors to a large park and recreation area at Covered Bridge Park and Wehr's Dam. The Club donates the plants and the township provides mulch for the garden. Planting, trimming and general maintenance are done monthly by the team throughout the growing season.
Committee members came together on June 10th to care for the plants at the Butterfly Garden. In addition to the usual weeding, Tom and Marie brought coneflowers, lobelia and petunias in shades of red, white and blue to honor America's 250th Anniversary. The group filled containers from the Jordan Creek to water the newly planted flowers. Marie then added some small American flags for a patriotic finish!
The work of our volunteers is greatly appreciated!
The Butterfly Garden committee members met on Earth Day, April 22nd to do an initial clean-up and apply mulch. The Scouts from Troop 60 were on hand to assist. Karen and Larry donated 2 metal pollinator sculptures - a bee and a butterfly - which they had recently refinished. The garden will be included in our efforts to have red, white and blue included wherever possible this year. Thank you to all those who worked including Tom Conroy, Marie Peart, Lori Zimmerman, Evelyn Broad, Karen and Larry Pimble, and Patti Molitoris.
