Norchester Garden Club - ABCS - Matzke Butterfly Garden

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

Join the Parade

Our subdivision of Norchester will have its traditional July 4th parade of kids, walkers, decorated bicycles, floats, and misc. other interesting people and vehicles.

Beginning at 10:00 AM, it starts at the north end of the subdivision at Laneview and Balcrest and proceeds south down Balcrest to the Norchester activity center on Jones Rd.

Come and join the parade or be an enthusiastic bystander.

The Norchester Garden Club will have a float featuring one of its projects, the Matzke Park Butterfly Garden. The garden is in full bloom and great shape so plan on a visit after the parade and take some pictures with the kiddos at the activity center or the garden.
