You can really help the
garden with no effort or cost to you. Sign up for the two "Neighbor
Programs" offered by Kroger and Randalls. For Kroger, this has to be done again, one time each year at this time. The funds we get from these
programs provide new plants and materials to refresh the garden
throughout the year. To open a copy of what is below so you can print

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

I'm
from Huntsville and a friend took me to Matzke Butterfly Garden today. I
was impressed with all the lovely flowers and hard work. We noticed a
shrub outside the fence near the water bowl that had green butterfly
shaped seed pods. I believe they were seed pods. Can you tell me the
name of the plant?
Thank you,
S.W.
As some of you know. S.W. was asking about the Butterfly Vine. The flowers are yellow and the seeds are in the shape of a butterfly. Easy to start from seed, full sun. |
