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 Results and Students with Special Needs
Thank you Cathy C and Joan F for your weeding and planting lantanas, zinnas and pentas today. Six new caterpillars arrived on the milkweed that was planted. Fifteen special needs Students from Bleyl Junior High and Cy Fair came to visit the garden with their teachers. They learned about Monarch's host plants, enjoyed the caterpillars. They also took home some native mum plants and yarrow. They have Painted Lady Caterpillars at their and will release them in the garden as butterflies.
