WILDFLOWER AND BUTTERFLY GARDEN
The Coastal Discovery Museum in conjunction with The Hilton Head Island Council of Garden Clubs and The Garden Club of South Carolina, Inc., developed the Dream Stop Garden to introduce island visitors and residents to the beauty and diversity of the region, both through the flowers and the butterflies that visit them.
This wildflower garden is planted with the essential nectar flowers and host herbs and plants used by a variety of butterfly species and their caterpillars, or larvae, for food. A butterfly garden can easily be planted near your residence, adding not only the beauty of the flowers, but also of the butterflies. A successful butterfly garden takes into consideration the needs of the animals; food for adults and larvae, shelter and water. By offering a combination of colorful blooms, herbs, water and rocks for sunning and resting, you can provide the essentials for life for these fragile animals.
