Learn about Gardening for Butterflies and which desert native and non-native plants, shrubs, trees, and groundcovers attract specific species of butterflies. We’ll also learn about how you can create a Monarch Waystation in your own landscape to help the endangered Monarchs make their annual migration to Mexico each year.  Many of the plants covered in the presentation are both the larval host and food plants for Monarchs and other species of native butterflies.
