Operation Evergreen

webadmin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:56:16 +0000

Wheeler Farms is participating in Operation Evergreen again this year. Three hundred Christmas Trees throughout the state of Ohio will be shipped to military bases in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. Collection sites are needed to collect non-breakable Christmas ornaments, banners, Christmas cards and personal notes that will be sent along with the trees. Over the past few years, donations have been fewer for various reasons. Our hope is to reverse that trend. Current collection sites are The Andersons stores, Anthony Wayne Schools, The Butterfly House, Maumee Schools & St. Joe’s Maumee Catholic Elementary School. Girls Scouts from Anthony Wayne, St. Joe’s Maumee and Lial will be sorting and packaging donated items at The Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm on November 4th. Visit wspd.com for a complete list of donation stations. We would like to thank WSPD for their continued support of military families. Contact Duke for more information at dw2360@aol.com.

About The Butterfly House

webadmin — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 23:30:04 +0000

The Butterfly House contains over 1000 butterflies with many different species from North & South America and Asia.

The facility was built with the idea of developing beautiful gardens in a controlled environment to exhibit butterflies to the general public. An opportunity to learn about the life cycle of the butterfly and how to promote a healthy environment for these special insects will be provided as well.

Serenity will surround you with the wonderful garden setting, where you can sit back and relax with the background sounds of a waterfall and nature itself.

Observe the life cycle of several species of butterflies occurring naturally in The Butterfly House.

Live butterflies flutter from flower to flower feeding on the nectar. They search for their mates, dance and bask in the warm sunshine.

The average life span of the butterfly is 2 to 3 weeks, so each week we introduce new species. Throughout the season we will have over 100 different species, so multiple visits can be rewarding.

Our experienced staff are available to answer your questions.

We hope you enjoy your visit.
