Pasquaney Garden Club’s Butterfly Garden is a hid- den treasure behind the Mi- not-Sleeper Library. Built in 2000, it continues as a haven for butterflies and townspeople. Its quiet and peaceful recreation path and stone benches beckon us to pause and view the New- found River up close. It is hand- icapped accessible with ample parking on site. The garden is readily available to anyone who wishes to enjoy the flowers and watch the birds and butterflies that visit. You can even have your lunch there while relaxing on the stone benches and hear- ing the sound of the river.
The Butterfly Garden is the winner of the Debbi Nutter Landscape Award as the high- est scoring landscape project incorporating native plants. The second prestigious award is the Governor’s Bowl given to the club which has made the greatest contribution towards the beautification of its’ Town or City.

into the river was increased as well. The state therefore man- dated a mediation area, a gully of some 140 feet long and ap- proximately 12 feet wide. After multiple consultations the Town authorized the Pasquaney Gar- den Club to recreate the But- terfly Garden along the banks of the Newfound River and meld it with a rain garden in the newly built mediation area, nearly tripling the size of the garden.
Upon acceptance of the proj- ect the Pasquaney Garden Club asked three of its Master Gar- deners to organize, advise and oversee it. The UNH Master
Gardeners of Grafton County enthusiastically accepted the
application as a project for the three Master Gardeners: Judy Kraemer, Shirley Yorks, and Cat White who willingly took on the project. Judy and Shirley have been active in the garden since its original inception. The long standing tradition of coop- eration between the Pasquaney Garden Club and the Trustees of the Minot- Sleeper Library was a foundation for the gener- osity and cooperation of those trustees, the Bristol Board of Selectmen, the architect, Brack- ley Shaw, the construction com- pany and their foreman. All worked with the Pasquaney Garden Club through all stages.
The Mayhew Boys and the Circle Girls Clubs have both assisted in attempting to ex- tirpate the Japanese knotweed and Oriental bittersweet that infested the riverbank. The Master Gardeners put over 120 hours of planning into prepa- rations for the garden and the Pasquaney Garden Club mem- bers put in nearly 1000 hours of their time to complete the garden. It was a herculean ef- fort and a remarkable example of what can be accomplished with good will and active co- operation from all parties. The maintenance will be on going for the club members.
