The North Shore Beacon recently shared a wonderful story from Anne Ochoa regarding Keep Lago Vista Beautiful earning a grant from the Texas Native Plant Society to install a butterfly garden in the Lago Vista Municipal Sports Complex.

According to the story, the grant is part of a program called “Bring Back the Monarchs to Texas”.

The grant will provide Keep Lago Vista Beautiful with $400 to purchase and install native flowers such as milkweed, pollinator, and nectar plants, that are particularly attractive to Monarch butterflies passing through the Hill Country on their migrations in the spring and fall.

“When the garden is complete, signs will provide names and background of the plants, making it a source of information for those in the area who want to create butterfly gardens on their property. We can each help return the threatened Monarch population to a better normal.”

The story continued by providing an update that the spring planting of the garden is complete, with more varieties of milkweed and pollinators to be added in the fall.

This designation is open to all who meet the criteria of the Monarch Watch at MonarchWatch.org/waystations.  Or guests can simply look for the butterflies.

If you would like to become involved with  Keep Lago Vista Beautiful, the organization meets on the second Thursday of the month at 2 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Lago Vista City Hall.  You can also follow them on F acebook wo or visit their website at www.KLVB.org.

You have teleworked while keeping your kids engaged and learning, teaching social distancing and implementing hand-washing routines that would make a surgeon proud.   You have helped your students with subjects you don’t even remember from school and have participated in more Google Meets that you can count – all while monitoring snack consumption so that you aren’t out of food in three days.  We see you. We appreciate you. #WeAllRow
