- Fascinating life cycle facts about local Monarchs, and up to date data on local population counts

- An introduction to the 3 native Milkweeds found in the Santa Monica Mountains

- Detailed information about how to grow native milkweed from seed

- Detailed information about how to install live native milkweed plants into your garden or in a container/ pot.

- Gardening tips to keep your native milkweed happy all year long, including irrigation cycles, soils and whether or not to fertilize, proper milkweed maintenance and which plants make great native milkweed companions in your landscape!

- At the end of each 60 minute class, each household will receive 5 milkweed plants home for use in their own gardens!  Please note, households must take home all 5 plants to ensure enough food (leaves) will be supplied for hungry Monarch caterpillars.
