Monarch Butterflies

Mandy from Bucklands Beach

Did you know that monarch butterflies are, right now, in overwintering mode? They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks… View moreDid you know that monarch butterflies are, right now, in overwintering mode? They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks or on golf courses, anywhere where there's tall trees.
These monarchs will wait out the winter and return to our gardens in the spring to mate and lay eggs on swan plants. They need our help!
Please help us look after our beautiful butterflies. This website is useful
