                                        Port St. Lucie Girl Scout Troop 1221

                        Visits TRBG on Saturday, October 13, 2007
 
Talk about enthusiasm, the young ladies of Troop 1221 exuded tons of it as they meandered through the Gardens talking to chickens and Milkster, the resident heifer, looking for butterflies and anything interesting they could find. Having already been to a Butterfly Garden on a prior outing, the girls had a basic knowledge of the relationship between plants and butterflies. They asked many questions, reinforcing and confirming their knowledge, as they plan to install a butterfly garden at Holy Family Church in Port St. Lucie.

 

Welcome to the Garden Troop 1221!
