The Freedom Pack Bird and Butterfly Garden has been established as a joint project of Atlanta Audubon Society and the DeKalb Master Gardener Association.
Its goal is to develop a small area of native wildlife habitat in a public space which might, in a small way, restore our vanishing wildlife habitat. Another goal is to provide information to the surrounding community about such habitats as well as involve that community in the development of the garden. The Garden is an all volunteer project.
The first plants were put into the garden in May, 2005, followed by plantings and enlargement of the site in the fall of each year.
Presently there are over 40 species of native plants in the garden, each bird, butterfly and/or insect friendly. Many are drought tolerant. A bluebird box at the edge of the garden has been active. A bird bath is now on the site. A low fence has been placed around the garden. There is a sign identifying the garden as an Audubon/Master Gardener Project. |
