We are the people you know saving the places you love!

Dude, will someone please suggest some names for my fellow lady turtle and I?? We're literally drowning in our own self pity over here at the cottage because apparently nobody wants us to have names...you have until Friday to come up with some names or otherwise (GASP!) the staff gets to name us...we're scared! If your names get chosen, we'll do lunch :)

(We can share the veggies, but the worms and slugs are mine though, sorry!)

Pollinator Wednesday!

Pollinator: Monarch Butterfly

Garden: Native Wildflower Garden in Rolling Hill Park

One of the best places to see Monarch Butterflies is our Native Wildflower Garden in Rolling Hill Park. Planted in 1995, the Garden is full of native plants that attract birds, bees and butterflies of all sorts. The garden is designated as a monarch waystation as it includes plants that serve as food for native caterpillars and flowers that provide nectar. On Wednesday June 26 at 6:30 pm the garden will be rededicated to one of the founding gardeners, Betty Reeves, during our Annual Meeting. This garden will also play a role in our Annual Butterfly Count on July 9. Gently look amongst the milkweed leaves for eggs and growing monarch caterpillars, easily identified by their yellow, black and white stripes!
