The Matzke Park Butterfly Garden Project is an ongoing project of the Norchester Garden Club.  It is managed by the Butterfly Committee and maintained by garden club members to create a positive leisure and learning experience for residents of the Norchester Subdivision and surrounding communities.  Garden club and community volunteers along with Harris County Precinct 4 have participated in accomplishing some of the following this year:

*  Workdays - official and independent - to weed, trim, and mulch
*  Web site postings including  "Plant of the Week"
*  Plant Exchange called  "Givers, Takers and Flower Bed Makers"
*  Fire ant control
*  Garden signs - three juvenile signs designed, fabricated and installed
*  Lady Bug Release and Workday
*  Irrigation monitoring and repair
*  Moss rock purchased and placed around fence row bed
*  Children's Educational Program
*  Planting purchased and donated plants
*  Garden Party planned and hosted by Zonettes
*  Planning meeting, dinner and film  "The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies"  for Zone Leaders who focus on maintenance of an area of the butterfly garden and Zonettes who help randomly such as their honoring of Zone Leaders at the Garden Party
*  Butterfly Garden Committee Luncheon
*  Grant from the Native Plant Society of Texas
