The Memphis Botanic Gardens Butterfly Garden
It had been a while since I had been to the Botanic Gardens, so I picked a recent Sunday morning and went to see how the butterfly garden was doing.
It's a gravel path, and there's plenty of seating available.
There weren't many butterflies, but the day was not sunny so that might explain it. I went to check out the Magnolia Trail:
but that season has come and gone. The entrance to the Iris Garden was also lovely:
but again the season is past to see the irises in bloom. The roses were lovely, though, and I'll post those photos soon.

I would go to visit that garden often also. It is a gorgeous place to walk. But thank you for taking us with you and this walk. I really enjoyed it. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThere are so many small gardens with the larger garden. I often go and visit just one or two of the spaces :)
DeleteHow beautiful is that park. I like the winding paths & that there are places to sit & admire.
ReplyDeleteThere is good seating throughout the park. They're good at providing places to "light" :)
DeleteLooks beautiful even though there weren't very many butterflies. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm not seeing as many anywhere this year, but the garden is beautiful anyway :)
DeleteOur butterflies are kept in a "house." It actually looks like a quonset hut, but has breathable materials. They propagate there and everything. The garden has an area set up where caterpillars are placed in an area and turn into butterflies. I was surprised your butterflies flew free. Of course, the gardens were fascinating and SO green.
ReplyDeleteOur zoo has a seasonal butterfly house like that. It's fascinating!
DeleteWow, what a beautiful place! I so enjoyed walking and exploring these magnificent gardens with you, aren't the views and pathways amazing 😁. Have a great day! J 😊 x
