About the Nursery
Native plant butterfly habitat. Top products: Native host plants, Nectar-producing plants, Locally grown perennials. Butterfly Tampa, operated by the Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation, is a specialized educational nature center and botanical garden located in South Tampa. Its core mission is the conservation of butterflies and pollinators through the promotion of chemical-free native plant landscaping. While the business functions primarily as an educational attraction featuring an insect zoo, reptile exhibits, and butterfly habitats, it also serves as a retail outlet for locally grown native plants. Their horticultural focus is strictly aligned with ecological restoration, offering specific host and nectar plants designed to support Florida's native pollinator populations. The facility caters to visitors, families, and conservation-minded gardeners looking to establish native, sustainable landscapes that provide essential resources for butterflies, caterpillars, and other local wildlife. By integrating living exhibits with the retail sale of native greenery, they bridge the gap between environmental education and practical residential conservation.

This place is amazing and incredibly interesting! The entire facility is super clean and well-maintained. They have a fantastic reptile section, and the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the reptiles. The garden area is beautiful, featuring a great variety of butterflies. Plus, they have plants for sale, including milkweed! It’s a wonderful spot for anyone interested in nature. Highly recommended

Total waste of time. It was a collection of 10 snakes. It was an open air garden so if there HAPPENED to be a butterfly that’s what you saw! $10 bucks. They should have refunded $8!
