The Butterfly Farm

The Butterfly Farm is an enclosed garden in Saint Martin where hundreds of butterflies from Caribbean and tropical regions fly freely among flowering plants and trees. The space is designed to recreate natural conditions and showcase different stages of these insects' development.

The facility was established in the early 1990s as part of a network of butterfly conservation centers across Caribbean islands and French territories. It was created to protect these insects and educate the public about their role in nature.

The facility helps visitors understand how butterflies live and develop while highlighting their importance to local ecosystems. The day-to-day focus here is on teaching people why protecting these creatures and their natural habitats matters.

The garden is best visited in the morning when butterflies are most active and lighting is good for viewing and photography. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the path winds through vegetation and can be damp in places.

The facility carefully maintains specific temperature and humidity levels to create conditions that butterflies from both Saint Martin and Guadeloupe need to thrive. These controlled conditions allow species that live separately in nature to be displayed together.
