Butterfly Garden
butterfly gardenThank you, Sonoran Audubon Society, for the $500 to refurbish the butterfly garden at the Desert outdoor Center at Lake pleasant.  In 2001 the Audubon Society provided the initial funding to construct this garden which includes fencing, plants, irrigation supplies, and signage with drawings and information about native butterflies.  Over 100,000 people have either viewed or walked through this garden enjoying the interpretive displays.

Since that time the garden has undergone needed improvements due to weathering and the popularity of visitors walking through the display.  This additional $500 in funding helped provide the supplies needed to refurbish the display.

And after several months of work the garden improvements are  complete!

Thank you again, Sonoran Audubon Society, for providing this funding!
