or 11 years, Tucker Butterfly Garden has
been a habitat for the complete life cycle of
southeastern butterflies.
Located in front of Tucker Recreation Center,
the butterfly garden was established in April 2008 as a
project by Georgia Master Gardeners in DeKalb County to
educate visitors on butterflies and the plants that support
them.
“Butterflies are around us all of the time during the
season,” said garden co-leader Daniel Niccum. “So, it’s
just a place where we can attract them. We put plants in
there that will attract butterflies.”
Plants in the garden include pipevines, which attract
swallowtail butterflies, and milkweed, a plant that attracts
monarch butterflies.
“All of these butterflies migrate to the garden to feed
off of the plants to get the nectar from the plants,” master
gardener Libby Houze said.
The plants within the garden are labeled with their
botanical and common name. The garden also features
educational signage to provide information on butterfly life
cycles to help make the garden educational for visitors.
“[Visitors] can learn about butterflies [in the garden],”
Niccum said. “During the summer, people can come
out and just sit in the garden. We have sitting [areas]
where butterflies are always around you. We see people
a lot of times out there reading when it’s a nice day. It’s
an educational garden. This is a place where we can do
demonstrations; we’ll be there to answer questions.”
Houze said she became a butterfly enthusiast because
insects are important.
“We do need insects as pollinators because they
pollinate not only flowers, but also vegetables,” she said.
“It’s a pollinated garden so it also attracts bees, but we just
named it the Tucker Butterfly garden because it was mainly
