Hi from Garden 6,
We were not around when Garden 6 started; when we came, Anne Brownstone was the garden leader, and she was great. Between her and Linda Blaise, we learned about what is needed to have a successful butterfly garden in this area. Since then, we have taken what they taught us and made it our goal to have as many of the necessary plants in the garden as possible, taking great care to make sure the plants are growing and thriving. We hope in the future to add more host plants and have even more butterflies. Enjoy your time in the garden!

Sit, relax, and watch the wildlife when you visit. There is a stone alligator that minimizes intruders to the garden, but don’t forget to watch out for real alligators!
