Lorain garden gains two large butterfly sculptures
The Marie Bonaminio Memorial Pollinator Garden across from City Hall in Lorain adds two weather resistant butterfly sculptures. Painted by FireFish artist Ryan Craycraft from wood cut by JR Lee, the pieces were finished last fall but displayed this spring. City funds covered paint wood and hardware in an estimated 1000 for the park behind the Lorain script sign. The garden honors Marie Bonaminio, owner of Bonaminio's Flower Shop who died in 2021 at age 95.
