Meet the Monarchs

Monarch butterflies are colorful and delightful garden visitors that depend on milkweed as a host for their eggs and food  for their caterpillars. It can be easy and fun to raise them. Learn about planting milkweed, finding monarch eggs, and the care and feeding of the beautiful striped caterpillars. Watch them turn to chrysalises, emerge as butterflies, and then get tagged for their fall migratory journey to Mexico. This workshop is for those of all ages who care about the environment and want to help increase monarch and other pollinator populations.
