Arizona Milkweeds for Monarchs project

This just came in for the Arizona Milkweeds for Monarchs project. They are looking for volunteers again this year. Hattie

Dear Coconino Master Gardeners:

Hello fellow gardeners! Spring is here and our greenhouse is overflowing with milkweeds. As many of you know, a small all-volunteer group formed the AZ Milkweeds for Monarchs project. Please check out our web site: www.azmilkweedsformonarchs.org.

For the second year, we are looking for some volunteers to test the suitability of growing 6-10 species of milkweeds at various locations in central and northern Arizona. We provide milkweed plants free of charge for gardeners willing to grow milkweeds and collect data on their performance twice during the 2017 growing season. Go to our website for details and complete the application process. We expect to have plants at the appropriate planting time depending on your location.

Cheers! Emelia, Emily, Rich and Mike
