🦋 Has anyone else noticed just how many butterflies there are this year?

We honestly can’t remember seeing so many fluttering around the gardens! It’s been wonderful watching them dance from flower to flower, adding even more colour and life to every visit. 🌸

If you’re visiting, keep an eye out for these beautiful little visitors and let us know what butterflies you’ve spotted. Better still, share your favourite butterfly photos in the comments – we’d love to see them! 📸🦋
