Dear Editor:

We have lived near Academy Springs Park for almost nine years, so we pass it many times a day and visit there often. The new Butterfly Garden is a lovely addition to the park and makes even the drive or walk or bike ride along Legion Drive such a pleasure. I walk in the Butterfly Garden as often as I can and each time I do, I see something new.

This is a time in our city's "life" when space and breath are taken up with talk and writing about the filming being done or the great new things happening on the square, but for me, it is the Garden that is refreshing and good for the soul.

Thanks to all the people I've seen out there all summer in the heat, working so hard to create the very best thing for our city in a while.

In my opinion, Liz Cobb
