- Help Save The Endangered Monarch Butterfly | #milkweedformonarchs2024 It's the start of the third year of the Milkweed For Monarchs Project! We've worked hard to build up native plantings and gardens across the country to help save the endangered Monarch butterfly! This will be the summer where the plantings continue to grow and the Monarchs really benefit! We're looking to grow the program too! Please share this video or details about the project on all your social media pages. Use the hashtag #milkweedformonarchs2024
If you're in the Upper Midwest, a great source of seeds is from Prairie Moon Nursery (www.prairiemoon.com).

I hope everyone will join us in creating a native planting that includes Milkweed that is native to your area. Thanks for all the help!! #milkweedformonarchs2024
I have been amazed by the monarch butterfly since I was a kid. Very nice color scheme they have!
I have been amazed as well. I used to collect the caterpillars as a kid and raise them. I'd then release all the butterflies. Really cool. It's such a great part of summer to see the Monarchs buzzing around the milkweed in the garden. Can't wait for this summer. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Super idea! 👌 ❤ let's keep the monarchs alive!
I hope you can find a small area in your yard to put a couple Milkweed plants or some Butterfly Weed. We need all the spots across the country that we can find! Cheers Juani!
I love the emphasis on natives. Way before I started intentionally growing food I started restoring the native community of plants along our pond and yard. I’m learning just how many of our natives are edible.
I had a 20 foot buffer along 200 feet of pond back at an old house. It was beautiful, from native iris and water plants to prairie plants, further from the pond. So much wildlife in that buffer! I'm glad you're doing this too! Cheers!!
The berry shrubs, native garden and orchard will be beautiful!
We're sure hoping it'll all mature into a beautiful area. We're working on finishing our plan and starting to set some of the plans in motion. We'll keep everyone updated. Take care!!
This is a great idea.
I hope you'll add a Monarch garden this year. Let me know if you need help!! Cheers!
Ray from south central Pennsylvania…we purchased a rundown 53-acre farm 25-years ago and have been planting trees and flowers to attract wildlife starting on day one. We built a half acre pond fed by active springs and stocked it with bass and bluegills. Over the years I’ve stabilized over 500’ of wild trout stream on our property by adding habitat to attract birds and butterflies. For the past 2-years I’ve been concentrating on starting patches of milkweed on the hillside behind our house and near the stream. and hopefully this year we will see the growth of new milkweed we’ve planted…keep the Monarchs flying!
Congrats on all your work! I bet the farm looks incredible with all your improvements! If you're on Facebook, please join the page for the project. I'd love to see pictures of the Milkweed when it's in bloom. Cheers Ray!
Great job keeping this going for the Monarchs! Hope a lot of people join in with you guys. Always fun to see what people grow and glad you’re using natives.
I need to go with natives. It gets so cold, there is really no wiggle room for plants for other zones. Besides, these are so beautiful! Thanks for watching Lisa!
Good morning Rich. The plans sound fantastic and saving the monarchs is great. Our hugel garden has been taken over by milkweed and raspberries.the butterflies are incredible. Great selection of flowers and grasses you have growing on! Looking forward to the thaw here in Ontario. I'm in #milkweedformonarchs2024
I can't believe how warm we've been. Last year we still had feet of snow. We're a month ahead of last year. Check out the Facebook page and please share pictures of the Milkweed and butterflies. Do a video for the project and get more of your viewers to plant as well. Have a great weekend!
I’ve been saving my native milkweed seed and spreading the seed in ditches that don’t get hayed along the prairie
That is awesome! Join us on the Facebook page (Milkweed For Monarchs Project) and show us pictures of your success! Cheers!
Hey LOVE this!! What a great idea and such a necessity!! Sharing this out! 😊👍❤️🦋
Thanks for sharing this! The more people we get involved, the better. Make sure you join the group on Facebook (Milkweed For Monarchs Project). You can share photos on there! Cheers Tammy!
Yes!! Great message!! I have some, but plan to plant more!! 👍👍 Great ideas on the MN native plants too! Thanks!
It'll be good to hear how your plantings are doing and how many Monarchs you see. Please join the FB page (Milkweed For Monarchs Project) and add pics of your plantings. Thanks for joining us!!
We have one milk weed plant that has started. Our area actually has a lot of Monarch butterflies that travel through. I see them on a lot of our flowers around the yard and garden.
Great video Rich.
With all your land, I bet you see a LOT of the butterflies moving through. There are probably little patches of native plantings that draw them in. Thanks for adding all sorts of flowers and other items that the butterflies love! Cheers Annette!
I live in Minneapolis, in a rental, so my allowed planting space is limited. That being said, I have a section of Milkweed that has been coming back on it's own now for 3 years. Also, less for monarchs, we have a tone of "volunteer" sunflowers that have made their way don the block over the past few years. My goal is to have the whole space between road and sidewalk be all native plants.
It is awesome that you've added all the flowers and butterfly flowers! Please send pictures to the Facebook page when they are blooming! Cheers Dan!
@@TheOldSwedesFarmI will for sure. I'm hopeful for the road side space but it's tough to get anything but sunflowers to grow there due to salt and other nasties from the road.
I remember having thousands of monarchs pass through my elementary school as a kid one year. I’ll look into what type of milkweed is native to my area.
A native gardem is a great idea
It would be great to have a native garden at your school. I hope your kiddos can add a garden to help the Monarchs!!
@@TheOldSwedesFarm yes!
My yard/ Flower beds have been re done for the Butterflies and Hummingbirds. You just reminded me I purchased milkweed seeds I need to get started, I hope it's not too late
I just started mine a week ago. You're in good shape as you've got a long growing season. They will grow this year but not show their true beauty til next summer. Thanks for planting Milkweed Jamie!!
I absolutely will. Great video! My family and I have remarked over the past few years that even with a substantially sized vegetable and medicinal flower garden, we just haven't been seeing many bees or butterflies visit our property (outside of Chicago) at all. Definitely concerning. CHEMTRAILS???
Not sure what it is. We have seen a lot of bugs and bees in our area but didn't see Monarchs until last summer when the Butterfly Weed bloomed. Then they were all over. Maybe you don't have the right flowers to attract butterflies, or maybe it's just been bad luck. Keep watching this summer. If you can throw in some Milkweed, let us know. Cheers!

Thanks for stopping by to watch!!
I've got 4 butterfly bushes, columbine, Day lilies hostas, Black eyed Susan and foxglove, what I remember right off hand oh yeah & Bergamot, getting ready to start my Milkweed , I'm located in Maryland
You've got an awesome butterfly garden! What a great collection of plants you have! Keep us posted on your progress. Check out our Facebook page (Milkweed For Monarchs Project) and you can post pictures. Cheers!!
I wasn't aware they are endangered, so thank you for this I will do what I can too to help them where I am. No wonder i've not seen many of them the last few years.
Their habitat has been disturbed for years and they have been declining. Our little efforts sure help! Thanks for any help you can provide!
