15,000 Dollar Landscape Plan donated by Meg Whitmer of Collective Designs in Stuart was awarded to our Grand Prize Raffle Winners, Mr. and Mrs. Flowers.
December of 2001, the Garden Club of Stuart initiated a new Garden Therapy program at Advocates for the Rights of the Challenged (ARC). The adults who will be participating in this program need guidance in their everyday learning. Our goal is to have them plan, plant and maintain the butterfly garden. In addition to caring for a garden, they will enjoy visits from the many butterflies we attract.
The ARC Garden Therapy Educational Exhibit was awarded First Place in our 'Victorian Summer' Flower Show
Garden Therapy and Butterfly Gardening
Consumers took a trip to the nursery and picked out plants for the butterfly garden and helped prepare the garden by pulling weeds and grass in the planting area.
Our garden continues to grow and attract butterflies.
