Learn How to Take Care of Monarch Butterflies!

This class is designed to teach participants about nurturing monarch butterflies from an egg to the adult stage. You will learn the benefits of a pollinator garden, collecting and cleaning milkweed and eggs, and having a clean habitat through proper hygiene which is essential for preventing diseases and ensuring the health and survival of these iconic butterflies.

We are excited to welcome back Linda Prior, who will be leading the class. She is a passionate butterfly enthusiast and master gardener. She has dedicated the past 10 years to educating herself and others about our beautiful monarch butterflies.
