ABOUT THE CLASS:Discover the magic of Monarch butterflies and learn how to support them right in your backyard! In this engaging, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the Monarch’s incredible life cycle and migration, the critical role of native plants, and simple steps you can take to create a Monarch-friendly habitat at home.
Participants will take part in a fun planting activity called the Magical Sprouts Potion, a method of starting native milkweed seeds in a jar to kick-start their butterfly garden. You’ll leave with your very own milkweed jar, practical knowledge about native host and nectar plants, and inspiration to make a difference for pollinators. This workshop is ideal for gardeners, native plant enthusiasts, and anyone interested in butterflies and conservation.
