Information in support of NGC, the gardens of Matzke Park, and our home gardens. A 501c3, Association for Better Community Schools (ABCS), was founded in 1994 and successfully preserved these 20 acres for public use. In 2007 ABCS and Norchester Garden Club (NGC) members developed, and still maintain, the Butterfly Garden. NGC projects, meeting notices, and programs are reported here and the public is welcome to participate. Email questions or comments to ABCS.Park@att.net

Work Day at the Garden April 14 @ 9:30 am
We will be getting the garden ship shape for the children's programs occuring in May. The roses are bursting with buds. A couple of monarch caterpillars have been busy on the milkweed. We have a few replacement plants: Cooper Canyon Daisy, Cardinal, Milkweeds, purple verbena, passion vine, crepe myrtle, cocks cone and zinna seeds to plant and a couple of annual flower flats. Weeding, dead heading to be done. I have found the best dead head tool for flowers is the Fiskars Garden Multi-Snip with sheath as it is easy on the hand. Hope to see you there, if not to enjoy the garden but to meet your gardening friends.
