Traveling Exhibit
As a family of former teachers, Greathouse Butterfly Farm has a soft spot for educators. In the 10 years since we started farming butterflies, we have made it our mission to inform public and private school students about butterflies and the environment. We are working on grade-specific curriculums to help Florida’s teachers. Greathouse Butterfly Farm produces Grow-A-Butterfly Kits, Adopt-A-Butterfly Kits, Butterfly Hatcheries and Painted Lady larvae cultures for teachers.
Classes and groups come to our farm for educational field trips where they learn about butterflies, insects, plants and recycling. Greathouse Butterfly Farm is committed to sharing our love for Florida’s butterflies and it’s natural history with generations to come.

Traveling Exhibit
There are two types of traveling exhibits available. Cost varies depending on several factors. Contact us for more information.
Butterfly Garden Fantasy is a walk-by exhibit, including a 10' x 10' screened-in structure with 100-plus butterflies. The interior of this exhibit is decorated with plants and props to replicate a fantasy.
Butterfly Encounter is a walk-through exhibit in which visitors have actual contact with 250-plus butterflies as they hand feed them with pieces of watermelon. This exhibit requires five staff members with constant supervision as it can be tough on the butterflies.
