Growing up on 100 acres in Northern Michigan, I've always loved nature. We always had an abundance of butterflies to watch, enjoy and try to catch. I miss that so much. Although I will periodically see some at my home in Kentucky, it's just not the same. I think butterflies are the most beautiful insect on earth. So, I was excited to find this iconic Butterfly Greenhouse at Wilson Nurseries, just a short drive away, in Frankfort, Kentucky.

Explore The Butterfly Greenhouse at Wilson Nurseries

Are you ready to explore nature in a super fun and beautiful way? It's finally time. The Butterfly Greenhouse at Wilson Nurseries opens for the season on Saturday, June 4th, 2022. This is such a cool way to celebrate summer!

"Immerse yourself in our butterfly exhibit – you’ll be surrounded by the native butterflies of Kentucky. Monarchs, Painted Ladies, and several species of Swallowtails and moths will fly freely in our beautifully landscaped butterfly greenhouse. Continue exploring our outer gardens that surround the butterfly greenhouse – created to attract and feed wild butterflies – while learning the importance of the creation, preservation, and conservation of native butterfly habitats. 3,000 sq. ft of curated butterfly habitat features over 100 different plants that have been chosen to attract, feed, and provide a habitat for butterflies."

"Our season runs from June to the beginning of October – during which time our butterfly greenhouse will have housed over 5,000 butterflies. In the fall, join us for our Monarch tag and release event to help researchers learn more about Monarch migration."

We had a wonderful time and love your amazing experience each time we visit! Thank you so very much! - Julie Lynn Steele
