Urban landscaping and greenspaces like public parks offer great opportunities to support monarchs. Simple choices of which plants to install into a flowerbed at a park’s entrance or along the foundation of a house can provide nectar sources and milkweeds for egg-laying. With education and better availability of native plants, homeowners and greenspace managers can play a crucial role in providing monarchs with the resources that they need to thrive in our urban, suburban, and rural residential environments.
