The Madison Environmental Commission is encouraging residents to grow milkweed, the only plant that monarch butterflies lay their eggs on. Their caterpillars depend on milkweed leaves for food. Pollinators, especially the monarch butterfly, are under threat from pesticide use and habitat loss.
Joan Maccari, a native plant educator and MEC member, has grown 100 milkweed plants from seed. Residents can reserve a plant by clicking HERE to fill out an order form.
