Good to know the BF garden seeds are marked down at the Monarch site. We have had so much fun with our Butterfly Garden this year I hope everyone catches the Fever and plants a nice butterfly buffet for next season!

I am working on getting our butterfly garden certified by the Monarch Waystation folks and have been putting in plants and starting seeds according to these basic guidelines

[HYPERLINK@shop.monarchwatch.org] to make the most hospitable little BF garden.

I did read somewhere else that if you didn't have space for a full on garden, though, even a pot of milkweed and a few favorite nectar plants is a big boost to getting pretty butterflies into the garden.

I bought my seeds at a few different suppliers---and used these sites for reference and research last year along with the Monarch Watch and Journey North sites. And the Wintersowing forum has a couple of threads going about BF seed starting for next year's garden that I have found very helpful too.

I think DGers are always happy to share Milkweed seeds if they have them and anyone needs them so don't forget the trading forums!
