Why Design and Plant a Butterfly Garden? Oct.14th Meeting

My Butterfly Garden at the Ipswich Inn

Thanks to Catherine Carney-Feldman who shared her expertise and the butterfly garden she designed and planted at Ray Morley's B&B with the IGC! Catherine inspired us with much information about the life cycle and habitat of butterflies. She presented a slide show, gave many handouts and encouraged all to create a butterfly garden.
                                The meeting was held in the afternoon to catch the light in the Ipswich Inn garden had 22 members in attendance. The vote for changing the fiscal year to July 1st through June 30th passed. The Club is going forward to come under the Garden Federation of Massachusetts' umbrella of a 501C3 organization (registered non-profit).

September 13th Meeting

Thanks to Richard Scott, Supervisor, Massachusetts Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, who entertained and enlightened us with his long experience, love and wit about the state parks that are right here in our backyards. Certainly, we are all excited to see with new eyes both Bradley Palmer and Willowdale after Richard enlightened us on each park's history, flora, fauna and their present uses.

Janet reminded us that IGC has mailed everyone this year's program guide. Its bright lime green color should help keep it visible. Thanks were givien to Paige and Dorcas who worked so hard to preserve trees on Washington St. Susie Winthrop volunteered to take the open position of Plant Sale Chair.

Aldyth Innis and Lynda Mathey were hostesses for the event and they prepared delicious fall refreshments for us all.

See you all at our next scheduled meeting on Tuesday, October 4th at 4pm at the Ipswich Inn on East St. Catherine Carney Feldman will be sharing with us butterfly-garden planting.
