The Garden was established in 2008, as a project by Georgia Master Gardeners in DeKalb as a demonstration garden highlighting the lifecycle of the butterfly.

The garden also includes a rain garden, and a beautiful native garden. Do stop by! The Garden is an educational tool to teach the Life Cycle of the Butterfly. Guided tours are available upon request. Please send a message. Workdays for the Garden are open to the public and occur on the 4th Thursday of each month, excluding December and January.

Stop by the garden and see our newly-created bug snug! What’s a bug snug you ask? It’s a structure made from garden clippings that provides shelter for beneficial stem-nesting insects.

Conoclinium coelestinum, or blue mistflower, is a wonderful late season plant for pollinators. Here is a Gulf Fritillary butterfly feasting on its nectar.

We found this very cool Sphinx moth caterpillar hiding in the leaves yesterday in the garden! This is why it’s so important to leave your leaves this Fall. The leaves provide shelter for many insects to overwinter.
For more information on the importance of leaving your leaves, check out this from the Xerces Society
