SUMMARY:Summer Garden Series: Build a Texas Monarch Waystation
DESCRIPTION:Construct a Monarch Waystation\nImagine a Monarch Waystation as a charming roadside diner and cozy motel\, specially designed for butterflies. This thoughtfully curated habitat serves two essential purposes: it offers abundant milkweed\, which is crucial for monarchs to lay their eggs and provides nourishment for their caterpillar. In addition\, it features a variety of nectar-rich flowers that supply the energy adult butterflies need for their remarkable journeys. Without these vital waystations\, monarchs struggle to reproduce and fail to maintain the stamina required for their extensive migrations. \nWant to make a real difference for these beautiful creatures? Transform your backyard into a certified monarch waystation! Join us for an enlightening presentation on Planting for Monarchs\, where you will discover the best native plants to fuel and support their extraordinary migration. \n\nDate: Wednesday\, July 22\, 2026\nTime: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nLocation: Cotton Belt Building\, 1517 W Front St\, Ste 116\, Tyler\, Texas 75702\nSpeaker: Carol Clark (Texas Master Naturalist\, Native Plant Society of Texas\, and Conservation Specialist with Monarch Watch)\n\nBrought to You By: \n\nTexas A&M AgriLife Extension\nSmith County Master Gardeners\n\n Reserve Your Spot Today! \nSpace is limited.
