I tend to just "neglect' the garden in the summer and it has done fine the past two summers. I put down newspaper late spring to control the weed growth and then come back in July to cut back some of the wild growth, but I don't generally water it throughout the summer.

Save Our Monarchs is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to saving the embattled monarch butterflies.

We are gardeners who believe that getting dirt under our fingernails and planting milkweed seeds - the monarch caterpillar's only source of sustenance - is the best way to save the endangered butterflies.
One Milkweed at a Time. . .
How do we propose saving our monarch butterflies?

It's simple, really. We're distributing Asclepius syriaca seeds to anyone who will join us in our mission. The best way to help the monarch butterfly is to rebuild their habitat and give them the food they need to survive.
GET YOUR SEEDS NOW!

﻿ Photos From Our Friends!

Got Extra Seeds?

We receive lots of emails from monarch enthusiasts wanting to donate extra seeds from their own plantings. We are more than happy to accept cleaned seeds for redistribution, provided you include details about species and origin.
You can mail them to us at:
