Native Plants Available for Monarch Waystations–

Planting the right plants and at the right time is a must for success:

Here is a chance:

Monarch butterflies (and other pollinators) need our help and we know it’s hard to find native plants in local nurseries – especially pesticide free (pesticides kill insects, including Monarch adults and caterpillars)!

To help you help the Monarchs (and numerous other wildlife), we’ve lined up a special event so you can buy what you need and get your Monarch Waystation planted.

Monarchs are on the way – let’s plant a feast for them!

What’s Happening: Nature By Design is taking pre-orders for native plants between now and June 14.

Place Your Order: See list of plants below (and on the Nature by Design website) and Call 703-683-4769.

More Milkweed: In addition to the plants offered by Nature By Design, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy will have a limited number of Swamp Milkweed plants (3 inch pots, for $3 each). These are not available for pre-order but can be purchased, while supplies last, when you pick up your other plants.

Where and When: On Saturday, June 15th, between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. come to Morven Park in Leesburg to pick up your plants. We will be set up in the main parking area before you get to the mansion. Address: 17263 Southern Planter Ln., Leesburg.

Learn more about the plight of the Monarch and what you can do to help bring back the Monarch and keep the magic alive!

Get your friends, neighbors, coworkers involved – plan a community waystation in your neighborhood, at your church, where you work, at your kids’ school! [See who's Making a Difference!]

Take another step – certify your yard as an Audubon at Home Sanctuary – we have people who can advise and guide you.
