Thanks, Cindy! Monarch Watch is a great program and they've been selling the native milkweeds for a few years now. It can be really hard to find native milkweeds for sale so this is great for gardeners and Monarchs.

For those who don't know, Monarch Watch is a non-profit, educational program that is based at the University of Kansas. They are the ones that distribute tags each year and track the Monarch migration to Mexico. They've also been encouraging people to plant more native milkweeds and since it is often hard to find, they've been growing and selling their own.
