Mother’s Gift Idea 7 for Gardeners- Milkweed Plants
This is the perfect time for giving the gift of butterfly plants. It’s too late to gift milkweed seeds unless your mother is ok with her plants being too small to support monarch life until next season. Keep in mind, a milkweed patch should have a 6 plant minimum to support monarch life. Otherwise, those hungry caterpillars will exhaust mom’s milkweed supply faster than you can say milkweed emergency!

- Milkweed Plants and plugs will give you monarch-ready plants this season

Thank you!

I love all of these gifts, but tried clicking on the one with the chrysalus nwcklaces to see thw prices, but was very dim and said somethibg about Firefox not letting you scroll? I am using my phone, so not sure what the problem was
Hi Dawn, it’s a specific issue with Jude’s store and the firefox browser. This is what the message says:
“ATTENTION: Right now Firefox does not allow you to scroll and checkout. All other browsers seem to work fine. Hopefully I can resolve this soon, if possible.”
I really like all the gift ideas! However, I will be asking to get a copy of your online guide for raising more Monarch Butterflies as one of my mother’s day gifts! Thanks, Tony
Hi Valerie, I’m happy to hear you like the gift ideas. I hope you have a fantastic experience raising monarchs this summer!
I love the milkweed plant idea for a mother’s day gift! That, along with a pair of sloggers would make a great gift. I absolutely love my sloggers and always get compliments on them. I like to wear them around when it’s raining in addition to the backyard. They wipe right off for easy cleaning and are SUPER comfortable! More comfy than my running shoes. I love wearing them. Thumbs up, Tony!!
I love my men’s sloggers too Toni! So easy to slip on/off when heading out to the garden.
