I started a milkweed garden after three large neighborhood milkweed gardens, including the one at our school, were destroyed by two factors:

1. a desire for "prettier" landscaping

2. mosquito spraying

The city spraying for mosqitoes are quickly wiping out the monarch population in our area. We are doing our best to raise awareness and repopulate - raising 100+ butterflies each summer.
