Butterfly Landing Tents and Gardens are Being Installed Plus a New Food Booth. One of our favorite spots to walk through during the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is the Butterfly Landing, formally known as Babmi’s Butterfly Garden. If you can stand having things fly by your head and possibly having butterflies land on you!
While walking through World Nature this morning we saw the Butterfly Garden tents being installed. These tents will be filled with gardens providing a colorful array of nectar-producing plants that attract butterflies and offer plants to feed the caterpillar stage of their life cycle.
While you may not see caterpillars eating the plants, you can certainly see the larval stages of the butterfly cacoon in special containers. These special containers help you learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, allowing kids and adults to view each stage of growth and explore the relationships of plants and animals.
Explore a whimsical butterfly garden and set out on a lively scavenger hunt.

Observe many species of butterflies up close in a kaleidoscope of color. Located near Imagination! in World Nature.
“Welcome to the Butterfly House Spending time in nature is a great way to relax, rejuvenate, and practice mindfulness-the art of living in the moment. As you walk through this garden, take a moment to notice all the living things around from the smallest butterfly to the tallest tree.”
Before they turn into butterflies, caterpillars need host plants for their food. In fact, each species has a particular plant that they like best, so you can choose your plants based on the kind of butterfly you’d like to attract. For example, monarchs love to munch on milkweed, while tails prefer dill!
Once their metamorphosis is complete, butterflies get their energy from drinking nectar Some plants that provide this tasty drink include butterfly bush black-eyed Susan, and coneflower.
Furthermore, out front of Butterfly Landing is a new food booth. The pretzel stand that has lived between Imagination pavilion and The Land has been removed, and replaced with a grass-side food structure.
