The project aims to attract more butterflies to stay and live in HKUST by planting more host/larval food plants of butterflies and nectariferous plants. The simplest and effective solution to fulfill the above purposes is to build a Butterfly Garden.

A roadside planter in the central campus is chosen for the Garden. Community members can increase their awareness of nature and relax themselves through visiting the Garden. Ambassadors and volunteers will be recruited to guide the visitors and help manage the Garden and do the butterfly survey.
