The Friends of Irving Gardens volunteer group is restoring the butterfly along the city’s Campion Trail.
Tuesday felt like a mild spring day, but the greenery along the Bird's Fort Trail Park gave it away that winter is still here. Many trees are bare and flowers are not yet in bloom, but those who maintain a garden along the Campion Trail are using warm days like this to prep for the Spring., known as FIG, is made up of volunteers from the community. It started in the summer of 2020 as a way to restore the butterfly garden along the Campion Trail.
"What started off as just a simple project and restoration, turned into a vehicle to educate the public, and for us also to learn about how we can use gardening, not just to beautify our spaces, but also to add benefits to our wildlife," said Fatema Biviji, the lead coordinator for FIG. "Originally this was known as a hummingbird butterfly garden, we came to realize that pollinators as an entire group of wildlife are all important to keeping our ecosystem healthy," said Biviji who mentioned insects such as bees and caterpillars as just some of the names of pollinators.Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersShe and other volunteers use their spare time to take care of the garden, which currently is dormant since it's winter time.
"I am seeing what’s blooming and what's doing well compared to last year after winter," said Biviji as she surveyed the garden. “It seems like every year there’s a different story that the garden tells, as far as what works and what doesn’t work.”
