The park will encompass 110 acres when fully completed, which is expected to take four years. Even now, there are the beginnings of an hummingbird garden, with still-small red hued blooms. Nevertheless, the freshly planted plants are already attracting hummingbirds, for Julia and I saw one.

There is a butterfly garden in the plans, as well, with the shape of a butterfly. To celebrate this, a small cage filled with butterflies was opened, and the tiny beauties were set free upon the park.

This photo is of one of the tiny butterflies, who was a little dazed before it flitted off to the flowers.
