Butterflies in the Glasshouse - 14 January–26 February 2012
Banish the winter blues with the sight of exotic butterflies flitting and floating among the plants in our world-class Glasshouse.
See a wide range of colourful butterflies as they settle into the beautiful tropical zone. Wander underneath palms and watch the butterflies as they take part in courtship flights and feed from plant nectar and fruit.
New for 2012 - you can also experience the full lifecycle of these fascinating creatures by visiting our collection of giant caterpillars.
Suitable for all ages, Butterflies in the Glasshouse is a fun day out for all of the family.
Normal garden admission applies: RHS members plus family guest free, non-member adults £10.50, children (5-16 years) £4.50, children under 4 free (all prices ex Gift Aid).
