Biophilia Nature Center

Coving 20 acres, this center features over 7,000 hand planted trees and 300 native species of plants, including 90 different types of wildflowers. There are cardinal flowers and coral honeysuckle for the hummingbirds, passion vine for the butterflies. Almost every native species of carnivorous plant was also brought in for planting. The insect-eating pitcher plant, as well as the sundew, a local species related to the venus flytrap, are now established at the Center. A greenhouse at the Center shelters pitcher plants, sea oats, and a variety of touch-sensitive plants. Visitors can purchase plants such as sea oats to help restore an environment of their own. Visitors can also observe the life cycles of native butterflies in the butterfly conservatory.
