Wings of Wonder, a seasonal Butterfly House, opened August 6th 2022 at the Gar\u00addens! This 1,800 sq. ft. structure houses 400 to 500 native butterflies and will be open to Garden visitors seasonally from April thru October each year. WoW was made possible thanks to a generous gift from William and Carroll Flowers, along with important con\u00adtributions from Dothan Awning Company, Wiregrass Master Gardeners, Lewis-Smith Supply, Dan Williams, and Mark Shertzer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
