Description: This bench was sponsored by the Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens, Milwaukee. The butterfly has always represented transformation, a sort of new beginning. The Wood Nymph also has a fairy tale goddess sharing its name who represents tender loving care, kindness and understanding. So many directions of thought can be developed from this particular species.

Description: I have also taken the liberty to present his stance on a leaf showing off his body to let the children understand that there is a live creature attached to the beautiful butterfly wings. The seat is created by drooping his lower wing to enhance the magic and freedom of flight when children and adults sit to rest and dream.
