Butterfly Daisy Sanctuary
Welcome to Butterfly Daisy Nursery and Sanctuary – Where Passion Takes Flight
Nestled in the heart of Seminole, Florida, Butterfly Daisy Nursery and Sanctuary began as a personal tribute to my beloved mother in June 2020. What started as a small butterfly garden planted in her memory soon blossomed into a life-changing journey.
The turning point came just a few months later, in September, when I noticed a cluster of caterpillars feasting on a single, unassuming plant—Milkweed. That moment of discovery unveiled the magic of the Monarch butterfly, a lifelong favorite of mine. Their transformation captivated me, and since that day, I’ve had the incredible honor of raising and releasing over 5,000 healthy Monarchs back into the wild.
Inspired by this profound connection, I officially founded Butterfly Daisy Nursery in October 2021. Our mission is simple but powerful: to protect pollinators by providing safe, pesticide-free Milkweed for Monarch caterpillars and offering a rich source of nectar for butterflies, bees, and other essential wildlife.
We are proud to be:

A licensed Florida nursery with the Florida Department of Agriculture Registration # 48027747
