| Florida Wildflower and Butterfly Garden |
|
| Come visit
our native wildflower garden in Gainesville, FL! Planted in fall 2006
next to the west side of the McGuire Center at the Florida Museum of
Natural History, University of Florida, the garden beckons visitors
to imagine how they could transform their yards into an inviting and
colorful, yet practical and water-saving, mecca for butterflies and
other wildlife. |

| The Florida Wildflower Council appropriated
funds from the Florida wildflower license tag revenue for the garden,
this website, an accompanying brochure, and a wildflower and butterfly
display in the Florida Museum of Natural History. The display shows
the life cycles of four butterflies and depicts how the plants they
use change in appearance over the four seasons. |
