Kansas is full of beauty, and a lot of it comes directly from our wildlife. Although our flowers are always gorgeous, there’s a certain insect that loves them even more than you do. Butterflies! This butterfly house is a must-see this summer, with so many of these beautiful creatures and flowers everywhere you look. Let’s check out this gorgeous live exhibit!

Welcome to Botanica Gardens, where everything is beautiful, everywhere you look.

This little mid-city oasis is home to a butterfly garden where butterflies can grow and live in peace, while we watch.

The flowers grown here are specially picked for being favorites of all of the butterflies that live here.
