Butterfly Day at the Depot!

πŸ¦‹Join us to celebrate National Start Seeing Monarchs Day!
Visit Griffith’s very own butterfly garden, aptly named the Griffith Junction Butterfly Stop.
πŸ¦‹ It’s the first anniversary of the garden, conceived and planted by Griffith Tri Kappa member Jeanette Bobos, and supported by the organization.
πŸ¦‹May 4th is one day after National Start Seeing Monarchs Day, when America celebrates those beautiful, endangered orange and yellow creatures.

It will be a fun and interesting Sunday afternoon at the Griffith Historical Park, where:
πŸš‚The Depot & Train Museums, and the Tower will be open to tour
πŸš‚Our barrel train, the Hess Express, will be running
πŸ¦‹Jeanette Bobos, the retired Master Gardner who planted our garden, will be on on hand to share her knowledge. We’ll have info on Monarchs and how they’ve become endangered.
πŸ¦‹Kim Moor, from The Wild Ones, will be with us sharing information about adding native plants to your garden.
🌻Want plants to help butterflies, especially Monarchs? Through the courtesy of Scheeringa Farms, we’ll have a small selection of milkweed plants; black-eyed Susans, Griffith Centennial’s flower in 2004; plus some Heirloom Plants, as well.
πŸͺGirl Scout Troop 15620 will be selling cookies, lemonade, and butterfly clips.
🌭The Cub Scout Pack 622 and Boy Scout Troop 623 will be on hand with hotdogs, chips and pop.
