Help our monarch butterflies
Have you ever bought swan plants with pesticide on them and been dismayed to see your monarch caterpillars squirm and later die? The Monarch Butterfly New Zealand Trust is this year listing on their website garden centres that will never sell swan plants.

You'll also find some of the other reasons noted there why monarch caterpillars can die. Of course predators (wasps etc) can be a problem too and there are tips elsewhere on their website to help with those.
We hope to see many more beautiful monarch butterflies filling the skies this summer!
