Butterfly Walk

The Sunken Garden teems with butterflies and other pollinators when its native plants are in peak summer bloom. Planted intentionally with local flora, the garden was designed to attract and sustain the native species that call this region home, creating a living ecosystem where butterflies, bees, and other pollinators can truly thrive.

This summer, Caramoor is proud to partner with Greenwich Audubon to bring these wings and wildflowers to life through guided walks of the garden. Your guide, Ryan MacLean, Senior Coordinator of Public Programs at Greenwich Audubon, brings a wealth of knowledge about local butterflies, birds, and their migration patterns and habits to every walk. A musician as well as a naturalist, Ryan has a remarkable gift for hearing and mimicking birdsong. Keep your ears perked as he leads you through the garden, and don't be surprised if he stops to point out a warbler passing through on its way north, or names a butterfly you've walked past a hundred times without ever truly seeing.
