New Butterfly Garden


The Golf Course Operations staff has re-located one of the two butterfly gardens at Mediterra. The new garden is located just south of the entrance to Padova next to the sidewalk.

The path will now be much more accessible to both the golfers coming from number 15 green South and to those using the sidewalk.

There are over 40 shrubs, vines and trees planted in this area which all serve as host plants for butterflies. A bench will soon be placed in this area as well to allow a place of relaxing and observing the butterflies.

For the first time, we will be offering classes about creating a garden of your own and learning about our native butterflies. These classes will take place in the new garden and will be hosted by two local butterfly gardening experts who assisted us in creating the new garden.

I hope you enjoy the area and will be able to attend one of the upcoming classes.
