Members of the 2024-2025 class of Leadership Hoover have been busy adding butterfly gardens to parks throughout the city of Hoover.
Our project concept started with getting more art visible in Hoover, and so we targeted art in the parks. Someone had an idea to create butterfly installations, and we expanded that concept to go beyond just colorful butterfly art in the parks to include promotion of pollinator gardens.
Members of the group behind the gardens are Daniel Diaz, Danielle Crowder, Deidre Williams, Cory Guillory, Carita Venable, Thomas Fox, Makinta Holloway, Erin Sapp, Valecia Williams, Ashley Waid, Dana Henson and Ryan Cavender.
