Description
Walk among free-flying native butterflies and other pollinators in the Heard Museum's Native Texas Butterfly House & Garden. The butterfly house includes native species, which vary by season and what is available from suppliers. The butterfly garden is filled with host plants that naturally attract these lovely creatures. You may even find a few ideas to try in your own garden.
This area is also a great setting for nature photography and portraiture (small fee applies). Please note that the butterfly house is not open during the off-season, but the butterfly garden is accessible year-round.
Visit heardmuseum.org for more photos of the butterfly gardens and details on plants you can use in your own garden to attract pollinators.
