Double tap if you agree. The official numbers are in and the news is not good. The Western Monarch population has hit a record low for 2018: only 28,429 butterflies. This is compared to 192,668 in 2017 and 4.5 million in the 1980s. (@xercessociety) .
.
.
What does this mean? 30,000 monarch butterflies is the number researchers set as their most educated guess for the threshold at which the western monarch migration could collapse. (Schultz et al. 2017) .

What can you do? Stay tuned! We will be coming out with an info sheet on ways you can help all pollinators. #monarchsmatter #savethebees

EARTH DAY GIVEAWAY! ♻️ ⠀
We've been working hard throughout the past year to renew our commitments to the Earth and find ways to give back. We've launched new initiatives and programs this year that our company is excited to share. We hope you will join us in using these programs and promoting them in your community.⠀
⠀
SAVE THE MONARCHS GIVEAWAY -⠀
Remove a harmful tropical milkweed plant, bring it in and receive ONE FREE NATIVE MILKWEED PLANT in exchange through April 25th! Tropical milkweeds are harming our monarchs. Do not plant them, plant native species only. Unfortunately, the Tropical Milkweed retains its foliage all winter long and even a few flowers, while the native milkweed goes completely winter dormant. A certain bacterial disease can persist on the winter foliage of tropical milkweeds. Then, when monarchs feed on these tropical milkweeds the bacterium can transfer from the plant to the larvae and eventually to the adult butterfly, weakening and even killing them.⠀
⠀
PLANTS NOT PLASTICS CONTAINER REUSE PROGRAM⠀
To encourage and incentivize our customers to return their plastic plant containers for reuse, we have begun contributing a small donation to an environmental stewardship organization, Surfrider Foundation, for each plastic container returned.⠀
⠀
RG SCHOOL GARDEN PROGRAM⠀
In 2019 we began providing unlimited plants and supplies to Newport Beach Public Elementary Schools to assist them in engaging and educating their students in edible gardening.⠀
⠀
We hope everyone has a beautiful Earth Day and is working to find at least one way to reduce their footprint on our planet. If you do not know where to start, come in and we can help you!
Our Monarch Mamma Design. Similar to our boobee tee, by this one is for those who are still bloomin’
⠀
You still might see some around your area this time of year, which means they missed the migration. It’s alright though, not all of them get to spend the winters in Mexico!

Happy #EarthDay!

This garden in Portland, OR welcomes all those who fly in—birds, bees, butterflies, bugs, and even bats!
.
It's easy to plant a garden that not only looks pretty, but also benefits the native habitat.

Also in the mix are Hebe ‘Quicksilver’, Penstemon ‘Husker Red’, and a variety of Pacific Northwest natives such as Sedum oreganum, Juncus effusus, Armeria maritima, and Penstemon serrulatus.

Happy Butterfly Birthday, beautiful girl Want to know how you can tell this Monarch is female? Females have thick veining on their hindwings and no visible scent glands. Males have thinner veining on their hindwings and two oval-shaped scent glands. So far, only three have allowed me a peak and they're all girls! #haremheartsmonarchs
Chrysalis update. Currently released 86 monarchs this season with about 70 more chrysalis and a few more still in caterpillar form.
