Milkweed to Monarchs

Create a monarch-friendly habitat.

In the last 20 years,
OVER A BILLION
Monarchs have vanished.

That’s a 90% decrease in just about two decades. If monarchs were people, that would be like losing every person in the U.S., except those in Ohio and Florida.

Habitat loss is part
OF THE CAUSE.
People are the solution.

By planting milkweed along their migration route, we will provide them with the only plant they can lay their eggs on and the only food their caterpillars eat. We will increase the chances their species will survive!

Milkweed is
EASY TO GROW.
and beautiful too.

Seeds can be planted directly in the ground in the fall, or after soaking for a few weeks in the spring. Whichever season you plant, they just need an eighth of an inch of dirt to cover in a sunny spot.
