Butterfly Garden planting

May 26, 9.30 am in the resting area of the Professional Arts Center.
Help us plant a butterfly garden in the Professional Art Center resting areas located behind the building. We hope that this small area of native shrubs will attract diverse species of SE Florida butterflies. Having a relaxation area like this will help staff, patients and visitors reconnect with nature. Volunteers can come at 9.30am (closed shoes, long pants and sleeves, a hat, a water bottle, and some elbow grease). You can RSVP here.

 
Don't throw away!
