Learn to successfully plan and execute a Monarch Waystation, as outlined by Monarch Watch. Attendees will take home a perennial milkweed plant to start their own Monarch Waystation.

Festival of Butterflies admission and parking ($19 value) are included in the price of the class.

“Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Without milkweeds throughout their spring and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be able to produce the successive generations that culminate in the migration each fall. Similarly, without nectar from flowers these fall migratory monarch butterflies would be unable to make their long journey to overwintering grounds in Mexico. The need for host plants for larvae and energy sources for adults applies to all monarch and butterfly populations around the world.” —Monarch Watch
