BioWorks Butterfly Garden

The BioWorks Butterfly Garden is a unique outdoor butterfly exhibit which focuses upon butterflies native to West Central Florida. Rearing and displaying native butterfly species, this garden space shows what kind of Florida-Friendly Garden a homeowner can create to attract wildlife and turn their own yard into a butterfly sanctuary. BioWorks houses an engineered marsh, a free-flying butterfly enclosure where guests can encounter butterflies, a multimedia classroom, and an animal husbandry laboratory where the butterfly lifecycle can be witnessed from egg to adult. Extensive outside gardens invite guests and butterflies to wander meandering pathways and linger among the diverse plant species.
