Lisa D. Anness South Florida Butterfly Garden

Lisa D. Anness South Florida Butterfly Garden

Here in South Florida, we can see many kinds of butterflies year-round. The Lisa D. Anness Butterfly Garden is the best place at Fairchild to observe native butterflies and the plants that attract them. Butterflies lay their eggs on host plants, which provide food for caterpillars after they hatch. In some cases, butterflies are very particular about the plants on which they lay their eggs and will only lay them on certain species. In addition to a wide range of host plants, this Butterfly Garden also includes nectar-producing flowers to attract and feed adult butterflies. If you are planning a butterfly garden in your own yard or neighborhood, be sure to include an appropriate mix of plants to feed caterpillars and adult butterflies.
