Cultivating Kids Grant -
Butterfly Garden

Work begins on 3rd Grade Butterfly Garden ... March 7, 2007



Once completed the view from the 2nd story library above will be of a garden in the shape of a butterfly.

Florida Yards and Neighborhood Coordinator, Kurt Rowe, helps move landscaping bricks into place.


Donated compost fills in the sloped area of the garden bed.


Next step will be planting the garden with plants that will attract butterflies.

Volunteers prepare for student plantings
