Monarch Waystations

Yep, the goal with our 3 Neighborhood Pollinator Gardens was to develop beautiful yet valuable attractions with a focus on Monarch Butterflies as well as other pollinators! 

We are ending our first season of these new beds a success and the official designation as a "Monarch Waystation"!  We've managed to protect these precious beds of native plants from deer and rabbits and provided them with adequate sun and water to encourage well established plants!  We've added plant identification markers with common and botanical names for education also!  The Monarchs found our beds,  so we are looking forward to spring now and our second year of growth with confidence.  This has been an interesting and a learning experience!  New plants along with new people in my life this covid summer.
