PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: “Florida Monarch Butterflies”The Monarch is probably the most recognizable and talked about butterfly. Gardening for Monarch butterflies in South Florida is unique compared to other regions of Florida and the U.S. because our Monarchs are both residents and migratory. Teri will discuss recent studies about Monarchs, Monarch migration, OE parasite and milkweed, and how to establish and maintain a garden that supports Monarch butterflies — all year.
