The Jean Sweeney Open Space Park Fund and the Alameda Recreation & Parks Department are sponsoring a Monarch Butterfly Garden in the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park.   Your Tax deductible  donation will help create and maintain this new habitat for the Monarch Butterfly in Alameda. The garden will be near the Central Self Storage warehouse on Sherman Street.

The Alameda Recreation & Parks Department will provide the space in the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park.  ARPD will update the space with new soil, install a professional irrigation system, purchase and plant nectar plants needed for the Monarch Butterflies.  ARPD has estimated the cost for these items plus staff time to be $20,000. 

The Jean Sweeney Open Space Park Fund and the Alameda Recreation & Parks Department invite the community to join us in creating this new habitat for Monarch Butterflies in Alameda.
