Monarch project kickoff – June 3 in the Pocket Park

We are excitedly awaiting the arrival of Monarch butterflies to Midtown Brandywine sometime in July! In the mean time we are preparing to greet them with our Milkweed patch in the Pocket Park. Milkweed is their favorite food and the only food the caterpillars eat.

Join us on July 15, 2023 in the Pocket Park at 11am and learn how to feed the caterpillars so they have the best chance of successfully launching the next generation of Monarchs. We will have everything you need to create a nursery for Monarch eggs! Reach out for more info:
