Our History and Garden History
In 1952 Clinton Odell founded The Friends of the Wildflower Garden. He describes why.
Below: 30 years ago the front entrance gate to the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden was finally complete with the installation in 1993 of the inscription "Let Nature Be Your Teacher," a quotation from Wordsworth. This completed the process of finishing a new entrance that began in 1989 with planning, stone construction in 1990 and arbor placement in 1992. A project of The Friends of the Wildflower Garden.
