Butterfly Garden
The Friends of Rookery Bay, with the help of several dedicated volunteers, have revamped the native plant and butterfly garden along the patio behind the Environmental Learning Center. Arbors, new plants and a lot of TLC have helped transform this area into a haven for butterflies, caterpillars, bees and people.
