butterfly garden

Winged insect habitat

A butterfly garden is a garden planted specifically to attract butterflies, typically featuring nectar-rich flowers, host plants for caterpillars, and sheltered sunny spots.

The term also applies to enclosed exhibits where visitors walk among free-flying butterflies: We took the kids to the butterfly garden at the nature center.
