Calgo’s Monarch Butterfly Waystation

Monarch butterfly populations are declining due to loss of habitat.

A Monarch Waystation is simply a garden that has both milkweed plants—which Monarchs feed on as caterpillars—and nectar plants that they use for nourishment as butterflies. By creating and maintaining a Monarch Waystation Calgo is helping to ensure the preservation of the species and the continuation of the spectacular Monarch migration.

Join us as we discuss the life of the Monarch and observe the various stages of development that are currently right here at Calgo. We’re hoping to release some butterflies as well.

With the $5 purchase of milkweed, you will have a starter kit to bring home so you can protect any eggs or caterpillars you harvest at this workshop. Then watch their metamorphosis!

This program is free and open to all ages.
