The iconic Monarch butterfly is threatened by extinction! We can help by providing the habitat they require to survive. Did you know that monarchs require milkweed species to feed and reproduce? By providing milkweed in our gardens, we can help sustain Monarch populations as they migrate.
Species marked with an asterisk are milkweed species-- critical for Monarchs! |
