Annual Community Events
We have encouraged and planted many pollinator gardens in Duluth. We hope you will too.
Monarch Waystation Tour - opportunity to visit local residents’ gardens that have been certified as official Monarch Waystations. Duluth Monarch Buddies has encouraged and celebrates the creation of 96 Monarch Waystation/pollinator gardens in Duluth.
Monarch Festival or Pollinator Marketplace - provides educational activities for all ages as well as the opportunity to purchase native pollinator plants and milkweed, furthering our mission to increase habitat.
Thank you so much for participating in the annual Monarch Waystation Garden tour!
It was a gorgeous day to see beautiful flowers and talk with experienced gardeners.
The number of tour-goers increased this year, which indicates a greater interest in monarchs and pollinator gardens.
Thanks again for creating monarch habitat!
