butterfly gardens
Winged insect enclosures
Butterfly gardens are outdoor spaces planted specifically to attract butterflies, featuring nectar-rich flowers and host plants where butterflies lay eggs.
They range from backyard plots to large public attractions where visitors walk among free-flying species: The nature center's butterfly garden draws monarchs every fall.
Some enclosed butterfly gardens allow tropical species to thrive year-round.
