The
Butterfly Haus Opening March 21 2008
Come see our Monarch Butterfly Celebration
Thrill to the miracle of live butterflies native to Texas at the newest
Butterfly exhibit in the state! Walk among butterflies feeding and flying in
our 3,000 square foot exhibit. Learn about the individual species as well as
the plants on which they thrive. From the observation window witness
hummingbirds flying and feeding on our native plants and feeders.
Our
Trial plots and display gardens are surrounded by a half mile of walking
trails, which in turn are surrounded by acres of production crops.
Wide and wheel chair accessible, the walking trails allow you to stroll at
your leisure and see some of the plant you may want to grow at home. Covered
sitting areas are photo opportunities in their own right, surrounded by
flowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Sit a spell and witness the peace of a visit to nature.
Our
flower fields in bloom are one of the most
popular destinations in "The Meadows". Planted for seed production, acres of
Texas bluebonnets, corn poppies, verbenas, and many other species are
accessible to the public in "The Meadows" area. We anticipate
blooms to appear in late March 2008.
Different seasons naturally feature different growth
stages of these crops, and a field of red poppies in the springtime may be a
field of cosmos or zinnias when you come back for a summer visit!
