Built and run by volunteers, West Lynn Garden and Butterfly House takes up 4.5 acres of land. Pathways meander through the beautifully landscaped gardens, and a number of picnic tables are scattered throughout the grounds.
Visitors can also explore the Butterfly House, which is home to hundreds of monarch butterflies between the months of December and April. Groups of 10 or more are required to book in advance. The gardens are open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. every day of the year, and a special craft market is held on the second Sunday of each month.
