All of the House's butterflies are captured here at the Arboretum by trained staff and volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering for this program contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 610-566-9134, extension 205. No experience is necessary; training will be provided.
Butterfly House and Garden
The Butterfly House and Garden offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn about, photograph, and get a close-up look at local butterflies in all stages of development. The exhibit features a 1,400-square-foot Butterfly House filled with natives including monarchs, sulphurs, hairstreaks, red-spotted purples, great spangled fritillaries, painted ladies, and swallowtails. The exhibit includes extensive plantings that feed both butterflies and caterpillars.
The goal of Tyler's Butterfly House and Garden exhibit is to promote greater understanding about a significant aspect of ecology and human interaction with the natural world.
