Interested in helping monarch butterflies and other pollinators? Planting common milkweed is a great place to start! Milkweeds are the host plants for monarch butterfly caterpillars and a great nectar source for many other pollinators. And, best of all, finding milkweed seeds to plant is easy. Each fall organizations and individuals come together to collect hundreds of pounds of milkweed seeds. These seeds are processed distributed to the public by local Soil and Water Conservation Districts in the spring http://ow.ly/euWE30pB6LA.
