Butterfly Garden
​

Take a walk through this beautiful garden designed with butterflies in mind!  Native plant species numbers have dwindled due to cities growing, agriculture, and the introduction of invasive species. As a result, our native butterflies have also struggled as they rely on these plants are their primary source of food.  Butterfly gardens and planting of native and "butterfly friendly" species can help to save our butterfly populations!  Check out more information on butterflies of Nebraska and how we can make our gardens more appealing using the links below!
