SUMMARY:2nd Annual Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Sale
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce our 2nd Annual Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Plant Fundraiser Sale. This initiative aims to promote the planting of milkweed\, a vital host plant for monarch butterflies\, and to raise funds to support the maintenance of the Ed Flanagan Pollinator Garden at Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. \nMilkweed is essential to monarch survival\, whose populations have declined dramatically in recent years. By planting milkweed\, we not only provide a safe habitat for these beautiful butterflies but also support the overall health of our local ecosystems. \nThe Bloom for Butterflies Milkweed Plant Fundraiser Sale features swamp milkweed\, a plant that forms 3-5 foot tall clumps\, and doesn’t spread aggressively like other milkweed species. It’s a perennial that thrives in wet environments but can also grow in regular gardens. \nOur 3-quart pots will contain two Milkweed seedlings ready for planting.  \nSupplies are limited (and we sold out last year)! Order now for pickup in late June. Plants are a $12 donation. \nJoin us in making a difference for our environment! Together\, we can create a brighter future for monarch butterflies and our local ecosystems.  \n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n\n                \n                        \n                            Bloom for Butterflies: Milkweed Plant Fundraiser\n                        \n                        Swamp Milkweed Plant Quantity\n					\n					\n						Price:\n						$12.00\n					\n					\n					 Quantity \n				Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Phone Number(Required)Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Mailing Address    \n                    \n                         \n                                        \n                                        Street Address\n                                    \n                                    \n                                    City\n                                 \n                                        AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n                                        State\n                                      \n                                    \n                                    ZIP Code\n                                \n                    \n                Total\n							\n						How do you plan to pay?(Required)Please note that Venmo is not yet available on Apple devices. \n			\n					\n					Credit Card\n			\n			\n					\n					PayPal or Venmo\n			\n			\n					\n					Send a Check\n			Paypal CheckoutPayPal Checkout\n                                    MasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: MasterCard\, Visa\n                                    \n                                    Card Number\n                                 \n                                            \n                                                \n                                                Expiration Date\n                                            \n                                                \n                                                 \n                                                Security Code\n                                             \n                                        \n                                            \n                                            Cardholder Name\n                                         Credit Card\n					\n						Cardholder Name\n					\n					\n						Card Details\n					\n				\n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ \n                        \n\n\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Milkweed is the only plant on which Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs\, and it is the only food their caterpillars eat.

Her initial fiber interests were sewing and quilting. Janet was introduced to rug hooking in 2016 after glimpsing the most beautiful carpet bag she had ever seen. She chased down the owner and learned that it had been hand-made. She has been hooked ever since! She is now a regular attendee of classes\,” hook-ins”\, and community gatherings. Janet enjoys acquiring new techniques\, but is consistently drawn to pictorials. She and her husband recently moved from Vermont to Freeport\, Maine\, as they had run out of floor and wall space for her creations. This accomplished and talented fiber artist is excited to share her passion for rug hooking with the WHRL community. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n                \n                    \n                        \n                            \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n                \n            \n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n                \n            \n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n                \n            \n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n                \n            \n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n                \n            \n				\n			\n                        \n                    \n                    \n            \n                \n                \n            \n        \n                \n                \n            \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n                \n                        \n                            Women's Retreat: Rug Hooking with Janet Starr\n                        \n                        Rug Hooking with Janet StarrThis retreat is full.

SUMMARY:Family Outdoor Exploration Day
DESCRIPTION:Spring has sprung\, so let’s get outside together! Join Haley Estabrook\, a Registered Maine Guide from Maine Outdoor School\, for a morning of outdoor fun and exploration for the whole family at the Maine Seacoast Mission. We will make trail mix\, identify animal signs\, go on a nature scavenger hunt\, and have the opportunity to win some outdoorsy prizes. \nThis event is a free drop-in program for all ages. We hope you join us for a fun morning of snacks\, nature-based activities\, fascinating facts\, and time to connect with other local families. \nReach out to Lizzie Cunningham by phone at 901-213-6667 or by email at lizzie@whrl.org with any questions.
