Gardens: Butterfly

A natural extension with many gardens are sections that are havens for butterflies. Everyone loves these colorful and delicate insects, and the butterflies love many of the flowers and plants that public gardens cultivate.

Butterflies are important to gardens because in their quest for the nectar from the flowers they function as polinators for the plants.

The one thing with butterfly displays and houses in gardens is that they are very seasonal, so be sure to check with the gardens that you're visiting to make sure that the butterflies will actually be there when you go.
