“butterfly heaven”

Zoro Garden--a sunken stone grotto garden that was designed as a nudist colony during the 1935 California-Pacific Exposition--is now a butterfly garden containing both the larvae and nectar plants needed for the complete life cycle of butterflies. Miniature indentations built into rocks collect small pools of water for the monarch, sulfur, and swallowtail butterflies that can be seen among the colorful perennials and majestic ficus trees that surround the garden.

The butterflies are best seen in July, August, and September. There are always lots-- they're attracted to the plants in the garden. It's pretty small and kind of secluded, which makes it a nice place to unwind after a long day of walking. Good spot to take a date for a walk!
