West Lynn Garden & Butterfly House

Had a look around today , gardens in autumn shades. Got be worth going back in the for the camellias and other flowering shrubs. A little disappointed about the lack of butterflies today, but that I guess there will be more in the spring. Aside from that the walk ways are reasonably accessible , some stairs in some parts. Still well worth a look at this hidden gem.

Only $5 entry to these beautiful sprawling gardens. Plenty of picnic spots and seats, and trees that provide shade on hot days. The monarch butterfly house is lovely too. Great place to take the family for a relaxing time.

Absolutely lovely to wander around. Calming and natural. Also great to see locals making use of the facilities. The monarch butterflies and caterpillars were a treat to see!

Delightful, peaceful wooded garden with lots of lovely clearings with seats to sit on. Also there are a number of cute Summer Houses dotted around the garden. The Butterfly House has several lovely Monarchs in it. They even thought of an umbrella over the fish pond to keep the water cooler for the Goldfish. Parking is in the grounds. A wonderful project run by volunteers - thank you so much!

The reality turned out to be worse than I expected. The garden looks like a regular track. In the butterfly pavilion, there were three butterflies and five larvae. I expected to see something similar to the butterfly pavilion at the Singapore airport and organized flower beds or well-kept meadows with benches. Here, even the benches were dirty. Why is there an entrance fee for this?
