Yay! We are Monarch Waystation 6425!


There was a recent story on NPR's Science Friday about the serious decline of the Monarch population.  Dr. Lincoln Brower, a biologist,  was interviewed about this sad news and he encouraged listeners to plant more milkweed! You can play an active role in this by planting a Monarch Waystation. By planting milkweed, you can help sustain Monarchs during their incredible migration.

We have been working towards getting our butterfly garden certified as a Monarch Waystation and we finally did it! Here is our sign hanging proudly in the garden.


You can learn more about working towards and certifying your butterfly garden here. It can be a small garden or a large garden - just plant milkweed!!





Please let me know if you have any questions about establishing your Monarch Waystation! I'm happy to help!
