September is Planting for Monarchs Month
Did you know that Phoenix plays host to the migrating monarch butterfly each year? We see them arrive in September and wave goodbye around May as they make their way to cooler climates for the summer.
September is the perfect time to start thinking about what native plants you could place on your patio, balcony, or plant in your yard to provide essential habitat resources for this key pollinator species.
Working together, we can create a web of much needed habitat resources throughout Phoenix for this important species.
What are YOU doing to celebrate Planting for Monarchs Month? Follow along and tag us using #PlanningForMonarchs at @PHXenvironment on Twitter!
