In April, Kellex Seating, Friends of the Valdese Rec and Catawba River Wildlife Coalition created a pollinator garden that will be a part of the NC Butterfly Highway with native plants that will attract butterflies, bees and birds.

Settlemyre Nursery designed the Butterfly Garden using native pollinator plants. They also stopped by the morning of the work day to make sure plants were in the proper position and that everyone knew how to plant!
