Butterfly farm to open British garden

• Jun. 2 by Adam Hartland (0)

Over recent years global warming has been causing the number of British butterflies to slowly but surely diminish.

Until recently there seemed to be no hope for several British species. A saving grace for our native butterflies has come in the form of a brand new butterfly garden, specially designed to house the beautiful insects.

The new garden will reside in the United Kingdom’s largest tropical butterfly paradise, the Stratford-Upon-Avon butterfly farm.

The garden itself has been placed in a location which will optimize the rays given off from the sun, rays which are vital to the survival of the butterflies and the environment they thrive on.

Later this year the Stratford-Upon-Avon butterfly farm will celebrate it’s 25th Birthday, having opened in July 1985.

Birmingham based lepidopternas enthusiast, Robert Kennedy commented on new garden plans:

I’m absolutely delighted, England and Scotland are home to some of the worlds most fascinating papilionoidea. It would be a tragedy if we stood by and watched them go extinct.

I for one think it’s an excellent idea, I’m truly looking forward to seeing them, comfortable in a natural environment.
