THE TYLER IDEA GARDEN
The Tyler Rose Garden has much more than Roses. There are two gardens within the property, which consistently produce Butterflies. So much so, that they are "Butterfly Havens". I am talking about the IDEA Garden, located in the South East corner of the property and the Heritage Garden, located in the South West corner of the property. Many thanks go to the Smith County Master Gardeners, for without them, there would not be gardens and for the City of Tyler, for allowing the land to be used for such a venture.
Below are lists of the Butterflies and Moths we see in these gardens.
