Thanks to the work of dedicated volunteers like the Garden's namesake, Dr. Bob "Butterfly Bob" Snetsinger, as well as the Centre County Master Gardeners, the Butterfly Garden at Tudek Park has developed into a spectacular place to view beautiful butterflies and plant species in their native habitat.
