Marshall Grain Co Monarch Talk 10_2020

October is time for the fall monarch butterfly migration! Each year millions of Monarch butterflies make a 3,000 mile trek from the Northern U.S. and Southern Canada back to their breeding and over-wintering grounds in the Oyamel Forest in Central Mexico. In order to get there, they will pass through "The Texas Funnel" along the way. In fact, nearly 40% of all Monarchs in North America pass through Texas gardens during their lifespan!

With the total Monarch population in steep decline, Texas gardeners have a chance to make a huge difference in the long term health and wellbeing of our nation's endangered pollinators.

This video discusses how to build a Monarch garden, including what plants you should offer to sustain them on their remarkable journey, where they are going and how they find their way.
