BUTTERFLIES TAKE FLIGHT

Leading the way – Nancy Percivall and Jessica Kruse carry the Crofton Village Garden Club banner

Butterflies Take Flight at the Crofton Halloween Parade

​Crofton Village Garden Club members fluttered down the parade route today dressed as colorful butterflies, spreading awareness about the importance of pollinators in our environment. 

Marching in the parade were CVGC President Margo Antonelli, along with Laura Austin, Trish Lilek-Demers, Mary Ann Cannone, Littany Hollerbach, Jessica Kruse, Nancy Percivall, Sandy Robertson, Diane Smith, and Angela Wetzel.

Several of the club’s gardens are part of the Anne Arundel County Pollinator Pathway, where native plants provide vital habitat for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Adding a touch of fun to the parade, member Nancy Percivall’s husband, George, joined in as the butterfly catcher.

The club’s participation highlighted how small community efforts, like pollinator-friendly gardens, play a big role in supporting biodiversity and the health of local ecosystems.
