Thank you to all the hardworking Worker Bees who came to help in the Audubon Garden this month. What a crew! We had returning Bees and several brand new Bees, too. We made great progress and are very grateful to all those weeders, transplanters and pruners. See you next month!

Thanks to the efforts of our Worker Bees and ParTee Girls, the Audubon Garden continues on its way to post-hurricane recovery.
Our December 9th Worker Bees session included Diane and Michael Spence, Linda Renna, Rose and Ron Virgin, Lyn Groves, Diane Barton, and Stan Rudd. They dug in with gusto and pruned, trimmed and weeded their way through the morning.
The Par-Tee Girls showed en force on the 12th, arriving like so many beautiful butterflies, one after another, and set to work weeding and watering and tidying the garden.
We are deeply grateful to all of those helping hands!
Our next Worker Bees session will be held on February 10th from 9:00 to 11:00. Please come join us in the Garden for a morning of beautification and friendship!

Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc in the Nature Garden, uprooting trees and leaving the garden flooded and under water for days. Many plants couldn’t survive being submerged for so long, and when things finally dried up, we had our work cut out for us. Thankfully, Worker Bees and Par-Tee girls came to the rescue. Worker Bees toiled through the morning on Monday, the 11th, followed by the Par-Tees on Thursday, the 14th. The Garden is on its way back! A big thank you to all who were able to pitch in.
Our next Worker Bee will be held on Monday morning, January 6th from 9:00 - 11:00. We hope to see you there!

Par-tee Girls & Friends in Action

The Par-tee girls along with GHA leaders Chris Thurlow and Deb Fletcher volunteered over the summer and are continuing to help to beautify the GH Audubon Gardens every month in memory of Debbie Lindsey
June 2024
Special thanks to Lyn Groves and Deb Fletcher along with two golf maintenance crew (Albert & Derrick) for their hard work and dedication in cleaning up the below pictured overgrown bed this summer. They just happened to obtain help from Albert and Derrick, it must be their charm! Not sure how they could have cleaned out ALL those Brazilian Pepper Trees without them - they had a chain saw and they needed it! Below are the photos - one before and two after. That beautiful bed of Lillies is fully exposed! Plus identified two Native trees! Still more weeds in there but they removed a ton.
