Just starting and learning but will do my best to plant a garden for Monarchs and perhaps next year i can do more. My grandchildren already watch out for the butterflies so word is out there. I will give Monarch favorite plants as gifts.

We brought 65 monarch eggs inside and raised them this year. I released 40 healthy monarchs! Plus there were probably 20 that matured to butterflies outside! My husband and I have a large flower bed dedicated to milkweed and enjoy the monarchs every year. My husband starts the collected seeds in his little green house late winter and transplants them outside in flower bed after last frost. By the time the monarch come we have plenty of milkweed for them! I love having children from church come over and see the different stages of the monarchs! They especially love it when they get to help me release them!

I have already planted a small habitat for the Monarchs. I got involved and educated by volunteering at the Zoo last year to tag the Monarchs. I met a lady that had been doing it for years, had traveled to Mexico to see the place they migrate to. She was very helpful and told me about all of these programs. I ordered my own tagging kit, got two of my friends involved, my daughter, my grandson and erected a small habitat with milkweed and some other flowers they and other pollinators feed on. I work at Tinker and contacted their habitat POC to ask if they encourage habitat for Monarchs and they said yes. I told them to involve me or contact me whenever they need help. Through her I got my friends daughter involved with their horny toad habitat rehabilitation program and she was able to do that for her Girlscout project. I have everything Monarch now and am determined to help save their population. I haven’t seen many at all this year migrating yet.

I want to build a monarch garden at my home but also on my property in Osage county. I want to carry on the love of the monarch butterfly from my grandmother.
