If you'd like your garden to be visited by handsome monarch butterflies then planting milkweed is the way to go!
Monarch butterflies are rapidly decreasing in North America because of the scarcity of the milkweed plants.
There are many different varieties of milkweed that grow all over the country and planting them in your garden helps preserve a species that has been in decline for two decades. The monarch species of butterfly (often referred to as "wanderer") have actually plummeted by 90%.
I'm not sure about you but these butterflies bring me so much joy!
I’d love your help keeping them around…We love chasing them through different gardens and trying to capture them still enough for a beautiful photograph!
Where have you found the most beautiful butterflies?
