It's not too late to plant milkweed for Monarchs to lay their eggs on!

This time of year, Monarch Butterflies are searching for milkweed to lay their eggs on. These eggs will become the Super Generation of Monarchs that will migrate 3,000 miles from the Northeast to the Oyamel Forests in Mexico. Patches of milkweed attract female Monarchs, and supply the only source of food their caterpillars can eat. It is not too late to plant milkweed!‍
