Memorial and Butterfly Gardens

 

        Located beside the parking lot at Navarino Nature Center are the Butterfly & Memorial Gardens, visitors will find all different kinds of native praire plants (both forbs & grasses) around the gardens.    Just beyond the gardens is a short loop trail through one of the restored prairies of Navarino.
