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

Program for Children's Groups

One of the on-going projects of the Norchester Garden Club supports our purpose to develop, maintain, and promote the Matzke Park Butterfly Garden. The Children's Program was created to provide a no-charge, hands-on learning opportunity for young children's groups such as: school children, day care children, and children with special needs.. As a registered Monarch Butterfly site and staffed with our volunteers from Norchester Garden Club, children will be able to walk or wheelchair through the garden, listen to a story on the Monarch's life cycle, participate in a scavenger hunt of butterfly life stages and learn to be a good steward of the garden.

Listen to a story of "Catherine the Caterpillar" (life cycle of Monarch Butterfly).
