"Sowing the Seeds of Harmony through Nature"
About this committee:
The Butterfly Garden is an on-going project that provides visual enjoyment for numerous visitors to a large park and recreation area at Covered Bridge Park and Wehr's Dam. The Club donates the plants and the township provides mulch for the garden. Planting, trimming and general maintenance are done monthly by the team throughout the growing season.
Colder temperatures and many leaves had blanketed the Butterfly Garden at Covered Bridge Park. On November 13th a team of PGC members brought clippers, rakes and leaf blowers to do one final clean-up of the area. The garden is now ready for the winter. Thank you to Marie Peart, Tom Conroy, Carol Nagle, Barry Nagle, Maria Dax, Marlene Blose, Deb Barr and Ann Mitman for your work.
Due to South Whitehall Township construction on the parking lot, the Butterfly Garden was unable to be tended to during the summer months and the weeds took over! On September 11, 2024 Committee Chairs Tom Conroy and Marie Peart met with 7 other committee members to do a major clean up of our garden.
The Butterfly Garden looked fabulous for the first clean up of Spring on April 10th. Committee members came with rakes, brooms and trowels to pull out weeds and clean leaves from the garden bed. Park users passing by commented on the garden and thanked members for keeping it beautiful for all to enjoy. Thank you Donna, Tom, Marie, Patti, Ardith, Claire, Judy, Bonnie, Helen and Maria!
**Update**
Unfortunately the parking lot next to our garden will be under construction until September and work on the garden this summer will not be possible. Our club plans to resume beautification of this area when South Whitehall Township completes the improvements.
