Experience the magic of Butterfly Fest at The Secret Garden! Each September, our nursery becomes a vibrant stopover for hundreds of beautiful Gulf Fritillary butterflies during their annual migration. Stroll through the garden as butterflies flutter all around you and discover the incredible life cycle of these fascinating pollinators.

This family-friendly event offers something for everyone, including:

To celebrate our pollinator friends and inspire butterfly-friendly gardens at home, all perennials will be 15% off during Butterfly Fest. It's the perfect opportunity to add beautiful, pollinator-supporting plants to your landscape while learning how even small gardens can make a big difference.

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, gardener, photographer, or looking for a memorable family outing, Butterfly Fest is a wonderful way to experience one of nature's most incredible migrations and celebrate the importance of pollinators.

Admission is free! Join us on September 12–13 and September 19–20 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for a weekend filled with butterflies, family fun, and garden inspiration.

*Please remember that butterflies are wild animals. While we typically have hundreds of butterflies throughout the festival, their activity depends on weather and natural migration patterns, so sightings may vary from day to day.
