​       The Garden Club of Santa Barbara joined the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History for a planting party in preparation for the Museum’s Butterflies Alive! exhibit, opening on May 21, 2016.  Flowers and plants from local nurseries were carefully placed to create a lush oasis to serve as the butterflies’ new home. Although this was not The Garden Club’s first time lending their expertise for the occasion, this year was special because both organizations are celebrating their centennial year.
