Numbers of Monarch butterflies have dropped by over 90 percent in the last few decades, but there are things we can all do to help them survive!  Plant native Milkweed in your garden.  Milkweed is the only plant that the Monarch larvae eat and it’s the only plant where Monarchs will lay their eggs.  Without Milkweed, Monarchs will not survive!  Think about creating a butterfly habitat in your garden by providing food (Milkweed), water, an area for protection, and never use pesticides!
