Butterfly Garden

Among the many treasures at Tod's Point, the beautiful Butterfly Garden is particularly special. You can enjoy the lovely flowers and butterflies while appreciating the stunning view of Eagle Pond. The steps and terraces date back from the original mansion. The Garden Club of Old Greenwich has been planting and tending this special treat for nature lovers and pollinators since 2002.
