Creating Monarch Butterfly Gardens

Adult Ed Nature Studies Creating Monarch Butterfly Gardens

Monarch butterfly populations are declining, and these butterflies could become an endangered species. Creating gardens with native plants and milkweed supports their survival. Learn the best plants to attract monarchs, their metamorphosis and migration patterns, and how to identify monarch eggs and caterpillars on milkweed that can be grown in your own garden. Leave with a milkweed plant to put in your garden.
