3 Valley Conservation Trust has at its very heart the desire to help the natural world be just that…more natural. In keeping with that tradition, we have partnered with Riverside Native Perennials in Delaware to grow 1-gallon native Ohio milkweeds as a fundraiser. As most people know milkweeds are the only hostplants for the beautiful Monarch butterfly and currently their numbers are in decline. By planting milkweed you’ll be helping not only Monarchs but a host of other pollinators and caterpillars as well. Throughout summer the flowers bustle with insect activity as bees, moths, flies and butterflies visit for food. Please take a moment to see the beautiful species we have to offer. Most species want a dryer location and in full sun so they’re an undemanding plant and once established will reliably send up new stems and flowers every year.
