Adams Ricci Butterfly Garden
The Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Cumberland County planned and planted the Adams Ricci Park Butterfly Garden in 2017. In 2018, the garden received the Master Gardener Search for Excellence first place award as the best demonstration garden in the state. A pollinator shrub border was planted on the northwest corner of the butterfly garden in 2019.
Each year, Master Gardeners host programs open to the public and offer free group garden tours with two weeks notice. Join the Master Gardeners at any of these free events, or stop by at your leisure during regular park hours to visit the garden. Enjoy the flowers and the butterflies and learn how you can create and sustain habitat for butterflies and other pollinating insects in your own garden.
