A couple years ago I started a butterfly garden in a quiet corner of my backyard. I love to sit in the shade with the warm sun scattered from the branches of the birch trees. I love to visit the Butterfly Garden Near Me for inspiration. I get plant ideas, learn a little about butterflies and enjoy my day outside. Here is a short list of Butterfly Gardens in the Chicagoland area.
Peggy Notebeart Nature Museum
This looks like the coolest place ever! This museum holds sleepovers!! Even during the winter months you can camp out with the butterflies overnight.
Peck Farm Park
According to Peck Farm Park website “Visit the award-winning Butterfly House and be captivated by hundreds of butterflies as they fly, feed, and land around you! Plus, ask about our Butterfly Programs, Field Trips, and Party Options.”

NENA says “You can help, too, by planting milkweed for monarchs, dill for swallowtails, zinnias for all, or visit the butterfly garden to get ideas for your own garden!“
