The butterfly exhibit was open on our second visit in March. Too many butterflies to count! They flocked around the misters, landed on the flowers, foliage, people and netting. If you stay still enough they will come visit, perhaps on your shoulder or hat.

Desert Botanical Garden
I love their mission statement. “The garden is here to help you enjoy the beauty of the desert and care about it”
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, New York
On the Brooklyn Botanical Garden website a plethora of knowledge can be found. Personally I liked the Gardening How-tos section. It contains; garden design, plant choices, sustainable gardening, urban gardening, native flora, growing food, pollinators and birds, houseplants and composting. Think my favorite is the fall butterfly garden.
