Save the monarchs - plant milkweed

Milkweed is the only host plant of Monarch butterflies, meaning it's the only plant Monarch butterflies will lay eggs on and the only plant monarch caterpillars will eat. Milkweed also provides a food source for many other pollinators. Plant milkweed in your garden next spring. Photo by Jana Peterson / Pine Knot News
