ABOUT THE CLASS:
Discover the magic of Monarch butterflies and learn how to support them right in your backyard! In this engaging, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the Monarch’s incredible life cycle and migration, the critical role of native plants, and simple steps you can take to create a Monarch-friendly habitat at home.
Participants will take part in a fun planting activity called the Magical Sprouts Potion, a method of starting native milkweed seeds in a jar to kick-start their butterfly garden. You’ll leave with your very own milkweed jar, practical knowledge about native host and nectar plants, and inspiration to make a difference for pollinators. This workshop is ideal for gardeners, native plant enthusiasts, and anyone interested in butterflies and conservation.

For over seven years, she has worked to protect Monarch butterflies through education, habitat restoration, and community science.

Kym is passionate about helping others create pollinator-friendly spaces using native plants and simple, effective ways to support pollinators at home.
