The Butterfly Garden Located across the parking lot from the Visitor Center, the garden features one-quarter acre of lovely Texas native plants. The plants in the garden were specially chosen to serve as nectar sources or host plants for butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. All of the paths and a footbridge with handrails are accessible and ADA compliant. |
Butterfly Garden Walks Enjoy the Butterfly Garden at Hagerman NWR! During the months of May through September, garden docents are on hand during scheduled garden walks to help visitors identify the native plants and the visiting butterflies. Literature on plants and butterflies will be available, as well as close-focus binoculars to zoom in on the beautiful butterflies! Registration is optional, come and go or come and stay - free. |
