As part of his entomology research, Howard Nemerov reviewed dozens of recent peer-review papers addressing Monarch butterflies, their migration, and how tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) impacts both. Learn about the science that will empower you to help preserve a healthy Monarch population and migration.

The presentation also discusses:

• Simple practices that less experienced gardeners can accomplish.
• Basic requirements to successfully landscape with native milkweeds.

Howard Nemerov is a Texas Certified Master Gardener with Advanced Entomology certification. When he’s not researching, he’s out gardening; his yard is his laboratory. Through research, Howard has built a list of county-level native plants for Master Gardener plant sales and teaches people how to create a low-maintenance haven for humans, plants, and insects.
