The 'Butterfly Garden' (formerly called Worm Tunnel) features a 50-foot long curving tunnel that students can enter from one end and imagine themselves inside a worm. A concrete sidewalk was constructed first to provide a low maintenance footpath. The walls are made from reinforcing bars covered with nylon mesh and burlap. Creeping fig was selected to cover the worm. Unique features are a convex mirror placed at the one end worm and as they emerge they see themselves, air holes in the sides, eyes, and antennae. Plants, such as the butterfly bush and butterfly weed, draw moths and butterflies and were planted to enhance their attraction to the garden.
