The Grove Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors gathered for a ribbon cutting at Lendonwood Gardens this morning. Lendonwood Gardens has joined a nationwide effort to save the Monarch butterflies. The effort all started with an idea by Melba Dagy and was funded by a grant from the Grove Rotary Club. Many different types of plants that attract butterflies are found in the garden including Verbana, Zinnias, Ox-eye Sunflower, Fire Pink, Lantana, Marigold, Liatris, and Purple Coneflowers. The Chamber would like to recognize Lendonwood Gardens for all of the things that they do for our community. It is truly a huge task and the hard work that is involved in keeping the gardens up shows. The seasonal changes are amazing all twelve months of the year.
