Nunan Butterfly Garden

The Nunan Butterfly Garden is home to many species of pollinators, birds and animals, who are attracted to its natural, pesticide-free setting. In addition to recreation and tourism, the garden provides an educational platform for children and residents increasingly drawn to outdoor spaces. The Nunan Butterfly Garden is cared for by a team of talented volunteers, who are assisted by the City’s Parks staff. The Library manages and plans the space, which is home to Tuesday Story Birds story times, the annual Butterfly Release, Halloween Costume Party, Christmas Tree Lighting Program, Plant Swap, Poetry in the Garden and many more Library events. The vision for the Nunan Butterfly Garden is to create an accessible venue that appeals to as many divergent needs of visitors and residents alike, which it continues to accomplish every day, thanks to the generosity of Library patrons and benefactors.
