In 2007 ABCS and Norchester Garden Club (NGC) members developed, and still maintain, the Butterfly Garden.

A Star in their Crown

Yes, there will be another star in their crown for each of the enthusiastic garden helpers this morning for our monthly work party. It was a hazy cool morning and turned into a beautiful day as we trimmed, raked, and dug. The garden is ready "for bed" as soon as we can get some mulch.

Many thanks to our volunteers:
The Walker Family Four, and Georgine, Joan, Cathy, and Janet.

Come and Help - Dec 30., 9:00am

Another good day for the scheduled garden work day today. ( Dec 9th). As always, thanks to Joan and Kathy for showing up with us. We fixed two sections of broken fence and did a good deal of pruning and trimming... And... as can be seen from these Before and After pictures

Most of the garden looked like the first two pictures here. (Actually, these are two of the areas that STILL need to be done).

The garden is holding well and still looks very nice when maintained. More "maintainers" taking an initiative more frequently would be a big help.
Come give us a hand on Friday, Dec. 30 at 9:00
