Interesting Sustainability Tidbits:
Milkweeds and Monarchs on the Move– The National Weather Service noticed a strange cloud over St. Louis that they determined was an immense swarm of monarch butterflies! Fall is a great time to plant a Milkweeds for Monarchs garden. Learn more, such as how to start or register your garden on the City’s website.
