Hummingbird-Butterfly Garden

 

Located within the Monica A. Evens Arboretum, the Hummingbird-Butterfly Garden provides an enchanting location for celebrations.  Designed to nurture and support butterflies and hummingbirds the garden is filled with plantings and flowers that feed and provide shelter for these delicate creatures. The Garden steps down into the hillside via a brick pathway and is surrounded by hedges and shrubs, creating an intimate enclosure. The beauty of the garden changes every week during the summer and into the fall, so no two events will ever be alike. Butterflies are raised in the butterfly house next to the garden ensuring a glimpse of these elusive creatures.  The garden pathway is paved with memorial and honorarium bricks highlighting special moments in the recipient’s lives. A memorable wedding may start with a ceremony in the Garden followed by a reception at the Barn, or consider Garden wedding followed by a tented reception on the Arbor Lawn. For more information contact the rental coordinator.
