Butterflies released at dedication of Luther Village garden
Residents of Luther Village in Arlington Heights released some 200 painted lady butterflies Thursday as part of a dedication of a new butterfly garden.
The garden, featuring plants meant to attract butterflies, was created a year ago as part of a collaboration between the Luther Village Spiritual Enrichment Foundation and buildings and grounds committee. Luther Village is a residential community for adults 55 and older.
The landscape architect for the garden, Acres Group, provided the butterflies that were released at the dedication ceremony Thursday afternoon.
"We're just hoping some decide to stay around," said Terry Choquette, Luther Village's activities director.
