Instructors: Susan Potter and Pat Dunlop, board members, established the Butterfly Monarchy Club (BMC) in 2020. They were also responsible for starting the first and only chapter of the North American Butterfly Association in South Carolina. Both have extensive knowledge of growing milkweed and raising monarchs and swallowtails. They have been instrumental in educating and raising awareness of the importance of providing host and native nectar plans to local garden clubs, civic organizations, etc. Description: The course will dive into the world of the monarch butterfly and other South Carolina butterflies. We will provide resources, tools and best practices for attracting these beautiful butterflies to your garden and what can be done to help save the monarchs. Live exhibits include eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and hopefully live butterflies. Attendees will be provided with informational handouts to include South Carolina native plants, which are host plants to butterflies, and nectar plants for pollinators.
