From LexBot twenty-four seven, the University of Kentucky Arboretum has opened a new butterfly garden dedicated to a local woman who fought cancer for years. The garden honors Alexandra Simpson, a Lexington resident who passed away in twenty twenty-two after battling the disease for a decade. The memorial garden was unveiled Sunday at the U-K Arboretum and is designed to support local butterfly populations while serving as a living tribute to Simpson's memory. The dedication represents the community's way of honoring Simpson's courage during her long fight against cancer. The butterfly garden adds another meaningful space to the arboretum's collection of natural areas, giving visitors a place to reflect while enjoying the beauty of native plants and wildlife.
