The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House is a member of the Missouri Botanical Garden's family of attractions. You can support the work of the Butterfly House in any of the following ways: pavers, tributes, the annual fund, or a membership to the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Dedicate a Paving Stone
Celebrate an occasion or honor a loved one with an engraved paving stone at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House.
Tens of thousands of visitors each year will see the lovely engraved stone in the entry court to the Butterfly House. They will pause to read the sentiment you share in memory of a loved one, in celebration of a birthday, or in honor of a birth, marriage, and countless other special occasions.
For a tax-deductible gift of $200, engrave three lines of text, 12 characters per line, on the paving stone. Your gift will make every visit to the Butterfly House a personal and meaningful experience while it supports an institution that inspires wonder in learners and teaches important lessons about conservation.
Order today by using our online order form, or complete, print, and mail this order form.

Make a Tribute
Celebrate the birth of a child; share the joy of a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or graduation; honor or memorialize someone special in your life.
A gift to the Tribute Fund supports the education programs at the Butterfly House and is fully tax-deductible.

A card acknowledging your gift will be sent to the person you designate; no mention is made regarding the amount of your donation. Tribute gifts can be made in any amount.

Support the Annual Fund
The mission of the Butterfly House is to foster a greater understanding of plant and animal relationships in the environment in order to promote the conservation and restoration of natural habitats. This mission is served by providing science and natural history education in our community and the larger world and by promoting environmental stewardship through example. Over 12,000 students are involved in our structured educational programs, which are targeted to students in pre-school thru middle-school.
We need your help to support and expand these programs. Your gift to the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House Annual Fund allows us to continue our current programs and expand in new areas when possible. Please consider a generous tax-deductible gift to support our educational programs.
