Ideal for observing birds, butterflies, and moths, this garden displays many trees, shrubs and perennials indigenous to the Eastern United States. The plantings border a grassy lawn, formerly the site of the turf research area and a small golf course, and those along the road&#8217;s edge act as an important corridor to Ecology Woods (not currently open to the public). Notable areas of the garden include the Boreal Forest , which contains mostly coniferous and some deciduous trees such as sugar maple (<em>Acer saccharum<\/em>), paper birch (<em>Betula papyrifera<\/em>), and white spruce (<em>Picea glauca<\/em>). Visitors will enjoy walking beneath the canopy of trees in the hot summer months or eating ice cream on one of the benches or observation areas meant to simulate a backyard environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Lepidoptera Trail<\/h2>\n<p>This interpretive trail provides food for butterflies, moths and skippers (collectively known as the Order Lepidoptera) during both the caterpillar and adult stages of their life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>View <a href=\"http:\/\/canr.udel.edu\/udbg\/gardens-plants\/garden-areas\/native-garden\/lepidoptera-trail-virtual-tour\/\">Lepidoptera Trail Virtual Tour<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/canr.udel.edu\/udbg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/UDBG-Lepidoptera-Trail-Visitors-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-download\"> <\/i> Lepidoptera Trail Visitor Guide<\/a> brochure<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bringing Nature Home: Sustainable Landscaping\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pAihCfASbVU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
