About this Event

SAMO Fund, the official partner nonprofit of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, is hosting a free narrowleaf milkweed giveaway at the Ritchie Valens Recreation Center, Pacoima!

We will be giving away free native milkweed at the Day of Creativity event being held at the Ritchie Valens Rec Center on Saturday, September 27th from 10 AM - 1 PM at 10736 Laurel Canyon Blvd, Pacoima, CA 91331. Million Little will be leading a painting event from 10 AM to 12 PM.

Every registered participant will receive a free 4-pack of Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis). We can only guarantee plants to those who have registered.

Narrowleaf milkweed is a gorgeous native plant that serves as a host for monarch butterflies to lay their eggs. Monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on milkweed leaves. Help us increase the monarch butterfly population by picking up and caring for your own milkweed plants! 😊

Planting instructions and additional info about our native plant nursery can be found here: www.samofund.org/milkweed

If you would like to help us grow native milkweed and other native plants for local native plant projects, please check SAMO Fund's Eventbrite page to register for upcoming events.
