Calusa Garden Club Presents Butterfly Garden 15th Anniversary

Calusa Garden Club of Marco Island invites the public to the 15th Anniversary Celebration for the Calusa Park Butterfly Garden. The celebration will take place on Wednesday, October 23 at 11:00 a.m. at the Calusa Park Butterfly Garden, 1441 Winterberry Drive.

The October 23 ceremony planned by Butterfly Garden Committee Chairman Susan LaGrotta will include City of Marco Island officials, elected officials, Calusa Garden Club members, and any member of the public who is interested in the Butterfly Garden project.

Since 2009, Calusa Garden Club and the Department of Parks and Recreation have worked together to establish and maintain this beautiful pocket garden on Winterberry Drive.  Marco Island set aside the land in Calusa Park for the garden, and funded part of the cost of the initial plantings, and Calusa Garden Club members took it from there – planting, weeding, pruning, and rearranging the plants and accessories in the garden.  The club also presents group tours of the Butterfly Garden to organizations on Marco Island upon request.

Calusa Garden Club of Marco Island is a Section 501(c)3 organization and is a member of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.  Membership is open to persons interested in horticulture, floral design and environmental matters residing 5 months or more in Collier County. 

Calusa Garden Club of Marco Island meets the second Monday of each month, October through April at Rose Hall at the Marco Island Branch Library.  If you are interested in membership, please contact the Garden Club at calusagardenclubcommunication@gmail.com.  For updates and information, please visit the Garden Club’s website, calusa.org, or visit the Club’s Facebook page Calusa Garden Club.
