When the 52-inch high flood waters from Hurricane Harvey finally receded, we were able to assess the damage and what we discovered was truly devastating. The relentless rain had eroded much of the vegetation and what remained had been trampled, dug up, and eaten by a horde of wild hogs. MGC is working with the City of Beaumont to raise funds to enclose the gardens with hog-proof fencing but the Monarch Way Station and pollinator garden and the Grandmother’s Garden must be fully restored. This includes fill dirt, complete replacement of plant materials, fertilizer and replacement of damaged/lost plant identification tags and signage.
