20,000 School Gardens in 2020

1/2/2020

​The Save Our Monarchs Foundation is devoted to saving the monarch butterfly from extinction by promoting the planting of milkweed and native flowers across the US.

In five years, Save Our Monarchs has distributed over 100 MILLION milkweed seeds, which may have contributed to the recent increase in the monarch population.

Also, Save Our Monarchs has sponsored over 6,200 Monarch School Wildflower Gardens across the US and Canada, offering all the necessary seeds to create a 10’ x 10’ Wildflower garden in each schools at no-cost to the schools. In 2020, our goal is to create 20,000 Wildflower garden schools. ​

We need help to reach the goal of 20K School Gardens in 2020!

Even the smallest donation will help the cause. If you would like to donate to our School Pollinator Program you can donate as little as $2. 

The good news is that in 2018-2019 the migration from Mexico to the US was up 140% over the previous year, the first time since 1992 that there has been an increase.

We would like to offer our sincere gratitude to everyone across North America who has rallied to this cause, planting their own pollinator gardens and especially the thousands of participants in Save Our Monarchs who had a direct hand in the repopulating of the monarch

Much more info is available at the SaveOurMonarchs.org website, and also at Facebook.com/SaveOurMonarchs.

So, Happy New Year to you and yours!

And we thank you and the monarchs thank you.

I can't imagine life without the Monarch butterflies. The School Gardens are a great idea! I have already donated to this cause.

We are starting the Mayor's Monarch Pledge in our town. We wanted to know if any of our schools are part of your program. Do you have an up to date map that is interactive so we can drill down to Marengo and Union, IL? Thank you
