Orchard at Altapass seeking volunteers for butterfly garden


ALTAPASS — The Orchard at Altapass is looking for “a few good men” and women, teenagers, seniors—volunteers to resurrect the O’s butterfly garden. A few years after the purchase of the Orchard at Altapass, co-founder Judy Carson and naturalist Elizabeth Hunter planted a butterfly garden in memory of their friend Jan McKinney Conley, who had recently died.
Over the past two-plus decades, this plot of showy flowers has seen good and bad times. When Judy died earlier this year, the garden was completely overgrown. Japanese chestnut trees shaded most of what remained of the garden, and weeds choked out the rest. In her memory, a generous outpouring of support flowed from friends and those who wanted the see the garden bloom again. And next year it will.
