A native-plant butterfly waystation popular for monarchs during late summer and fall migration. Photograph bright orange wings, nectar-feeding behavior and milkweed stands; watch for soft backlighting at golden hour and even light on overcast days for close-ups. Small public garden with nearby roadside parking in North Vernon; likely free entry but seasonal peak Sept–Oct. Weekdays and early morning reduce crowds and disturbance.
