Butterfly House Release
One of the most memorable experiences at the Gardens happens twice each week. From April through September, visitors can participate in the Butterfly Release Program. Each guest receives a native butterfly perched on a faux nectar flower. After a brief talk about pollinators and the role butterflies play in the ecosystem, participants release their butterfly into the gardens where they help pollinate flowers throughout the landscape. The program also highlights the Gardens’ role as habitat for native pollinators and the importance of planting gardens that support them.
Limited to 40 guests per session. Please arrive early, as you will need to walk to the area where the release is being held. Late arrivals will join the program in progress, as we are not able to repeat missed portions.
Advance purchase online is highly recommended.
