"We were very pleased with the caterpillars. They were easier to care for than I thought. Come in a cup of food and stay in there until a chrysalis on lid. Then move to the net and watch. Feed butterflies for a day or two. Really simple. It was amazing for us all but great for my daughter especially who could see your whole life cycle. Would do again perhaps with another creature."
"Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish! 🐛🦋. My boys have loved watching their caterpillars grow, form their chrysalises and finally emerge as beautiful butterflies. It’s been amazing watching the whole life cycle happen right in front of us, and such a lovely, hands-on way for them to learn about nature. The caterpillars arrived healthy, the instructions were easy to follow, and everything we needed was included. Seeing the excitement on the boys’ faces when each butterfly emerged was priceless! 🥹🦋 We’ve absolutely loved our Butterfly Garden and would 100% recommend it to other families. Such a magical experience and one we’ll remember for a long time! 🤍✨"
"Our caterpillars grew really fast in this year's hot weather but it was still an enjoyable experience. All five grew into butterflies."
"A really lovely experience for my three year old, she loves watching the caterpillars change though she was very sad to see the butterfly’s go. This will definitely become our new summer tradition. Excellent value for money!"
"Done this last 3 years love letting my butterflies go but love watching them grow And I’m a 53 year old 😂"
"A wonderful experience as always, both for child and adults. Love seeing my daughters excitement when she releases the butterflies. Have the caterpillars every year and we never get bored of it. So glad my daughter get's to this life cycle first hand. Highly recommend this company."
"Very happy"
"Returning customer!!! Love getting caterpillars and watching them grow. Usually we only have one loss, for some reason this time we had more loss than survivors. Even the replacements we only had two make it. But that is nature, out of 15 caterpillars we have released 8 healthy butterflies!!!"
"It was all delivered in good packaging. The caterpillars were all alive and ended up with beautiful butterflies. Which were released in the garden. And the children loved them."
"Fantastic experience as usual even though my children are older now we still enjoy watching the caterpillars change and releasing them into our garden in hopes we see more nature in the garden. Only downside was when the postie left them on the doorstep in the heat. But great communication from the company about this and we had four successful butterflies."
