“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” - Maya Angelou
With our history of being developed over a landfill more than 60 years ago, this quote resonates with us deeply. It’s amazing to see how far the Garden has come over the past 60 years. And the abundance of butterflies in all different shapes, sizes and colors that now call the Garden home inspire us to keep spreading our wings.
