ECOLOGICAL

The park consists of a butterfly garden, which consists of many different native plants in order for butterflies to have a safe home to lay eggs and develop. Many of the flowers are fragrant and bright colored flowers, which add to the natural beauty of the park. The butterfly gardens and its surrounding areas do not possess any chemical pesticides and fertilizers because even the smallest amount can be deadly to the butterflies and moths. Only environmentally friendly and natural fertilizers are used in this area of the park.
