Help keep the butterflies fluttering!

Over 500 butterfly pupae a week are delivered from all over the world to the Gardens. Once they arrive, they are carefully placed in the Emergence Room until they emerge, and are released into the greenhouse. Adopt a butterfly and keep the butterflies fluttering in our Butterfly Magic exhibit,  just $5 per pupae!

Reasons to adopt a butterfly:

  • Show that your company, organization or family supports Butterfly Magic!
  • Take part in butterfly conservation
  • Give a unique wedding, anniversary or birthday gift
  • Honor a loved one

For more information contact Development at (520)326-9686, Ext. 13.
