More Than Butterflies

Some places ask you to hurry. This asks you to slow down.

Leave your expectations of a manicured garden at the gate. Here, butterflies roam free and wild, just like our untamed gardens — lush patches of wildflowers tangled with cheerful weeds, bees on their own business, and dirt paths that mean business too. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy.

Keep an eye out as you wander: a few four-legged farm hands roam the grounds, and rumor has it our garden gnomes shift position when nobody's looking.

Because this isn't just something to see. It's something to experience.
