The Butterfly Book Nook broke ground two years ago. What was once a brownfield surrounded by barbed wire is now a flourishing pollinator garden. This garden, located at 1020 King Street, holds 150 native plants and over the past few weeks has been the birthplace of hundreds (maybe thousands) of butterflies. Looking overgrown and wild is by the design in this space, because this garden is build to mimic the forests of South Carolina, prime ecosystems for bees, butterflies, birds, moths, and other pollinators.⠀
⠀
Please join us this Saturday, November 16th from 9am - 11am to pull down the final cow peas, move leaves and sticks from the pathways into the mulch beds, and to fortify the composting area. ⠀

Beneath the interstate, running from Huger Street to Mt. Pleasant Street, was once I-26 Park or Interstate Park, a 15-acre park believed to be the first of its kind in the nation. This was in 1977. Where has that park gone, and why? What can we co-create under I-26? #awakening8 #thepeoplespark #weavethepeople

On the Table is an exciting, region-wide initiative to explore the ways in which we have the power to collaborate in order to make our communities stronger, safer, and more dynamic. Join in the conversation about your community.⠀
⠀
On the Table allows community members to come together, collaborate more, and to become more involved and more committed to our community. While we know that there’s no “quick fix” to the issues facing the Lowcountry, progress will result from residents and organizations listening to each other and working together to create changes that will add up to help unite the place we call home.⠀
⠀
Thursday, October 3rd at noon in REDUX, 1056 King Street. ⠀
