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 beginning June 18. 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 \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 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 \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.  URL:https://whrl.org/schedule/bloom-for-butterflies-milkweed/ LOCATION:Women for Healthy Rural Living CATEGORIES:Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://whrl.org/wp-content/uploads/blooms-for-butterflies.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260615T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260615T100000 DTSTAMP:20260615T021149 CREATED:20260604T173544Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T173639Z UID:10000157-1781514000-1781517600@whrl.org SUMMARY:Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention–Summer Session Begins DESCRIPTION:Mondays\, June 15 – August 3Time: 9-10 amMaximum registrants: 8 \nJoin our community partner\, Healthy Acadia\, for a tai chi series designed to empower people to improve their health and well-being through slow\, smooth\, continuous mind-body exercises.
