We are so excited to announce the upcoming Grand Opening - Native Butterfly Botanical Garden and re-opening of renovated Living Exhibits Friday, August 2nd.The metamorphosis of Butterfly Tampa is almost complete! Butterfly Tampa will emerge as a unique, memorable, and educational attraction for all ages attached to the Little Red Wagon Native Nursery. Attendees can view our living exhibits, including many native and some exotic reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. We will also unveil our new “bug bungalow” featuring many of our vital native insects. You can view caterpillars eating their host plants and our fantastic butterfly collection in the educational facility. On your way to our demonstration botanical garden, showcasing our native Florida flora, you will see our new butterfly emergence lab. You may have the chance to see a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis or a moth emerge from its cocoon. As you stroll through a tranquil oasis tucked behind our South Tampa native nursery, you can enjoy our new native butterfly botanical garden with butterflies in their native habitat free flying around you. We have had over 30 different species of butterflies regularly visiting our gardens and you never know which will visit on any given day.
Get inspired and join us on the quest to re-wild Tampa Bay and beyond! Learn how to do your part to support the conservation of wild butterfly populations and their natural habitats together through chemical-free native plant landscaping. Our new attraction will allow you to explore our exhibits, read the educational signage, learn from our knowledgeable nature interpreters, and connect with other amazing folks alike yourself.
We look forward to you and your family fluttering in soon!
