Raising and Releasing Healthy Monarchs

Did you know June is pollinator month? According to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, there are approximately 200,000 different species worldwide that act as pollinators, approximately 17,500 of those are butterfly species, and approximately 700 of those butterfly species are native to North America. Monarch butterflies are just one of many native pollinators in our region. Jeanne Megel, author of Raise Healthy Monarchs at Home, returns to Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden to share her knowledge about monarchs. Learn what to plant in a butterfly garden, identifying monarch eggs, insect development from egg to butterfly, first aid, and more!
