Tree Top

 

This year’s theme is “Creating a Butterfly Garden”. The Arrangers’ Guild has created beautiful origami butterflies and also adorned the tree with photos of plants which are nectar and host plants.  The tree is very educational as it gives one an idea of which plants attract butterflies.

Be sure and visit the library to see this tree and others decorated by various organizations in Palm Coast.

 

 

 

 

The Main Palm Coast Branch Library is located at
2500 Palm Coast Pkwy. N.W., Palm Coast, FL 32137
