Create A Butterfly Haven: A Milkweed Patch

Monarch Butterflies depend on Milkweed for survival of their young. Other pollinators flock to milkweed as well. Two years ago I started three different milkweed patches by planting a single small plant. This year I have three emerging beds of milkweed to support these beautiful creatures. Take a look and consider adding milkweed and other native plants to your property. Less law, more biodiversity, more beauty. #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #milkweed #butterfly #monarchbutterfly #nativeplants I’m an organic, no-dig gardener in Central Virginia, Zone 7.
