You know the saying..."If you plant it, they will come!"
This year we are offering a wide variety of native milkweed species including: Showy, Swamp, Prairie, Whorled and of course, Common. We also have a variety of native perennials including late Summer bloomers that are essential to the Monarchs for their long migration to Mexico.
We will have our ever popular "Habitat in a Bag" that includes both milkweed and perennials as well as the "Caterpillar Care Package" --a smorgasbord of plants for a variety of butterflies; Bronze Fennel for the Swallowtail and Pearly Everlasting for the Painted Lady Butterfly (Bonus: some of the plants already have caterpillars). These bags would make a wonderful Father's Day gift or a gift for a new graduate. How about one for a neighbor or friend?
Planting milkweed is the best way we can help bring the monarch population back from the brink.
