The garden team has planted 21,000 bulbs for an epic display that will bloom again and again with new sights and scents throughout the season.
Welcome Back Soar – Tropical Butterflies
Returning for the 4th year to South Coast Botanic Garden is Soar. This incredible exhibit features hundreds of tropical butterflies that you wouldn’t normally see in Southern California. Explore the Host and Nectar Garden where you can discover the beautiful plant species that are part of a butterfly’s habitat. Learn about how butterflies grow in the Emergence Chamber. Finally, visit the pavilion where you will have an up-close-and-personal experience with the hundreds of butterflies flying around you.
