If you’ve ever wanted to contribute to the well-being of Monarch Butterflies without breaking a sweat or starting a full-fledged garden, we’ve got the perfect solution for you. It’s time to embrace your inner laziness and make a significant impact by simply scattering Milkweed seeds appropriate for your area.
Monarch Butterflies, those enchanting creatures that grace our skies with their vibrant orange wings, rely on Milkweed plants for their survival. Unfortunately, Milkweed populations have been declining, posing a threat to these beautiful insects.

First things first, get your hands on some Milkweed seeds suitable for your region.
