The garden club members and their sponsor work hard
to maintain our nature center area that provides a sanctuary for many plants
and animals. A bird feeder was built to provide food for various species
of birds. A Hummingbird feeder exists to attract them to the garden. In
the pond, fish live and frogs lay their eggs, which later develop into
tadpoles. Butterfly plants provide an excellent food source for caterpillars
and allow butterflies a place to lay their eggs. The Cornelius Nature Center
also has a Greenhouse where students work, and store equipment. An oak
Gazebo is now under construction to be place in the nature center. The
Gazebo will allow students to make and record observations about their
surroundings comfortably. The Nature Center is a place where not only animals
live, thrive, and plants and flowers grow, but it is a place where students
and staff can also enjoy the serenity and beauty of the center.
