We recently visited the Lukas Nursery and Butterfly Encounter, and what a treat it was! The plant nursery is huge, with never-ending varieties of plants and flowers. We went specifically to experience the butterfly habitat, and I absolutely loved it! I would've stayed longer had it not been so hot and humid. The cost is only $9 per adult, and they off and annual pass for $25. These are both a steal, especially for the large variety of butterfly species in the habitat. I especially loved the small enclosure which housed all of the Painted Lady butterflies! It was nice to see Giant Tiger Swallowtails, and many Monarchs, including mating pairs. I saw Peacock butterflies, Gulf Fritillaries, and others I had never seen before. The staff was very pleasant and professional, and they took the time to talk with us. The gift shop was also outstanding, providing so many different items for sale. I live out of state, though I look forward to visiting again. Maybe your new building will be constructed by then, which is something to look forward to. Thank you! 🦋

Absolutely outstanding service from Mikayla, a Florida-friendly expert. She advised my husband and me on the best plants for a flower bed we want. She asked detailed questions about the soil and sun conditions, determined how much plant maintenance we wanted, and suggested a color scheme that was even better than we had thought of. Many thanks for your expert help, Mikayla!

I went to Lukas Nursery about two years ago and was helped very much by Jan. I never forgot her. I returned a week ago and recognized her right away as she offered to help me. It was mid afternoon on an extremely hot day. Normally they don’t take us around on carts, but she made an exception on this day due to the heat. I am certainly not an expert regarding landscaping and really needed guidance regarding what I wanted to achieve. She was patient, helpful, and good- humored in the process. I am very grateful for Jan and will be returning there today or tomorrow, even though it is about a 40 minute drive for me. She made it worthwhile.
