Here at London Butterfly Gardens we are doing our part to help save native British butterflies.

Our Director of London Butterfly Gardens Matt Simmonds is interviewed on the link below.

We are here to educate and offer advice on how you can attract butterflies in to your garden.

We are also monitoring local butterfly populations at Hall Place too.

It is important that we all play our part to save our native butterflies and would ask where possible you can share this with friends and family to help out.

BUTTERFLY GARDENS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED !

We are renewing our call for volunteers in our flight house !

We apologise if you have contacted us before and your message slipped through the net. Please send us a direct message to our page and we will follow up with you.

We are now looking for a number of volunteers to assist with the daily routine of managing the flight house including the morning preparation and / or helping manage the gardens whilst we are open.

Morning - It takes us 2 hours every morning to get our flight house ready for our lovely visitors every morning from 8am to 10am.
Jobs you could get involved in are deadheading, sweeping, the main important job of cobwebbing to keep spiders webs at bay to protect our butterflies. As you may know tropical butterflies only last on average 2 weeks so we need to remove any that has passed over night.

During the day - Slightly different role after preparation. We do require occasionally deadheading plants etc during the day, the main tasks for the day is again cobwebbing, removing any butterflies that have passed. And again the crucial job of cobwebbing to prevent Spiders taking hold.

The other important task during the day is advising visitors in a polite way that they shouldn't be touching the butterflies as they are extremely fragile or the plants. These rules are given on entry, but it's good to have a presence in the flight house. As well as general chats with our visitors, you'll learn basic info over time which will assist you when our customers ask questions

Another important aspect which our team does is once a week we prepare the pupae for emerging, also prepare newly emerged butterflies ready for the flight house, this is an interesting part of the job we can teach you.

You won't be expected to stay in the flight house for hours on end as it is very warm in there you can feel free to take time out when you need to.

Volunteers must be 18+ and would be required to work independently and on their own.

What you get in return, time with our beautiful butterflies, you will get free entry to the butterfly gardens outside of your volunteering role. You will also get 25% off our plants and gifts.

If you think this is the role for you, please send a direct message to our page with your interest and Phil our Duty Manager will get back to you to arrange popping down to see us and show you around.

10 mins or so of live butterflies!!

Did you know we are now well over 1,000 free flying tropical butterflies in our butterfly garden flight house ! This video was taken in the morning before opening. We understand the talk of 1,000 free flying butterflies is scary to some people, but they are not all flying around at the same time, some will rest, on leaves, some will chillout high up in the glasshouse. And because our flight house is large, it never feels overwhelming, take a look at our video for yourself taken in a slightly lower height section of the butterfly garden.

The blue morphos were putting on quite a performance on this early morning. The blue morpho are the hardest to photograph as when their wings are closed you cannot see the stunning blue colour on the inside wings. As you can see from this video, the blue is very striking.
