Butterflies are free to fly at Little Country Greenhouse

When Bruce Pardue started the Butterfly Experience, he wanted it to be an educational experience for all who came to visit.

“To me, I think knowledge is the best thing that can be given and given free,” said Bruce Pardue. “That was the driving force behind the butterfly cottage.”

While on honeymoon, Pardue and his wife visited two butterfly exhibits that left him angry. One, he said, was a small room with three butterflies and the other was an elaborate exhibit. No one was available to educate him at either, he said.
