Butterflies and Blooms Returns to Natural Bridge Caverns

Now in its third year, this free event is designed to inspire habitat building for butterflies and other pollinators

Natural Bridge Caverns is celebrating the migration of the Monarch butterflies with its 3^rd annual Butterflies and Blooms event on September 21 and 22^nd. This free event will include presentations on butterfly habitats from the in-house landscape team, hundreds of free seeds, a scavenger hunt, crafts, educational displays, live music and more. Designed to create more diverse habitats for pollinators like butterflies, bees, moths, and hummingbirds, the event is part of Natural Bridge Caverns’ ongoing mission to connect people with nature.

“Pollinators rely on native habitats throughout their local habitat and migratory path,” said Joye Wuest, CFO for Natural Bridge Caverns and ardent supporter of pollinator habitats. “We’ve committed to ensuring our landscaping doesn’t just look lovely, but also feeds native pollinators. Now we’re helping people to do the same in their own backyards and gardens.” The seeds gathered by the park’s  in-house landscape team are specifically selected to provide easy to grow plants that support multiple stages of a butterfly’s life cycle. Natural Bridge Caverns also has an extensive guide on their website to both the types of butterflies and the plants they rely on throughout their time in Texas.
