Monarchs, Migration & Milkweed

Is your garden helping or hurting the Monarch migration? It turns out, not all milkweed is created equal.

Master Gardener Howard Nemerov has analyzed dozens of the latest peer-reviewed studies to uncover the truth about Asclepias curassavica (Tropical Milkweed) and its impact on butterfly health.

Join us at the next Bastrop County Master Gardener Monthly Meeting for a deep dive into the science of migration and walk away with a "cheat sheet" of simple, research-backed gardening practices that ensure these golden travelers keep flying for generations to come.
