JM Caldwell Park Pollinator Garden in Princeton

09/24/2022 by mconnally

Dave Powell, 2007

On our first workday three of us began the cleanup of the garden, most of which was removal of Western Ragweed. Kathy, Mary and Dave made good use of two hours and were rewarded by the butterflies that showed up which included two Monarch that began drinking nectar from the flower that we exposed. We were clad to see already existing plant and flowers that we were not sure were there. We also had the opportunity to say howdy to several folks as they were using the trail that passed by the garden. There is still a lot of work to do so we will be setting up more workdays, we still thinking about the best days as everyone is busy during the week. I think we will try another Wednesday in early October it should be cooler by then.
