I called around and asked for donations from local garden centers and got many donations for the garden. Several newspapers also covered the story and they have gotten hundreds of calls for information. We posted the Waysation sign in the garden and also made monarchwatch waystation creation brochures (from the PDF file) available by using a real estate brochure holder and put it right in the garden for people to take when they visit the garden. The school and church were very supportive as they are going to include the monarch waystation in their curriculum next year. I believe that if you give people and businesses the information for creating a waystation and be available for guidance, they will be eager to create a waystation.

I got a lot of negative comments. I joined Monarch Watch as soon as I heard about it and put my sign on my front lawn for all to see. Now I hear interestered comments and questions. It does pay to advertise. I live in a residential area and I started growing milkweed and raising Monarchs long before I heard about Monarch Watch. I got a lot of negative comments.

The pasture looked as empty as my heart felt. At my daughters request i visited Powell Botanical Gardens for the first time. Wow, i couldn't believe what i had been missing. Now days my pasture is a busy place and so am i. I have a butterfly habitat now and i spend every chance i get with my camera in hand photographing these beauties. I even won Missouri Lottery Calendar contest with a pic of a Tiger swallowtail. I want to learn more about Monarch Waystations.
