Shady Oak Butterfly Farm helps install a butterfly garden in Bradford County, FL.

A Bradford County ball park and after school community care center installed a butterfly garden in four parts.  Each garden, 4’ x 8’, focuses on one stage of development. 

Original garden art was welded in the shape of an egg, a caterpillar, a chrysalis, and an adult butterfly.  The focus of the garden art was Black Swallowtail butterflies. 

Signage for each stage of life is set at each appropriate garden.  A butterfly release celebrated the opening of the butterfly garden in 2011.
