Butterfly & Pollinator Garden Workday
Village Creek State Park
Be involved in the start of something big! Village Creek State Park needs your help in creating a garden for birds, butterflies, pollinators and other wildlife. Our goal is to create a place where people can go to learn, enjoy nature, and to get inspiration for using eco-friendly native plants in their landscape.
The garden will be located across the road from the Park Office and the Nature Center, so it will be highly visible and accessible to all visitors. Your help is needed to get this garden started. Can you spend a few hours helping us create this garden?
Please contact Kathy to sign up and to find out what you can do to help.
