Have You Seen The Garden?

Yup... it is HOT outside.  But that is no reason to not stop by the Matzke Park Butterfly Garden every once in awhile.  Here are some pictures taken the early morning of Aug 16, 2017.

A few of the beds are very nicely kept .....  

 
























And despite the heat, three of the Garden Club Ladies have been working to clean up, prune back, and generally revitalize the others.

It is a very peaceful and enjoyable spot to have a McDonald's lunch or just a bottle of water while you sit on the shaded benches in the ever present breeze. The butterflies are out in full force; monarchs and gulf fritteraries.  We miss the great old tree just behind the gazebo, but overall, the Butterfly Garden is well worth a visit. 

The garden is now in its 11th year.  In the coming few weeks, we will post a link here for a 16 minute slide show video that displays the garden's development from a bare patch in 2007 to what it is today.  In the meantime, stop by and see for yourself.
