Marin Master Gardeners: Monarchs in Marin

Posted by davagy on 16 January 25

Monarch butterflies, as much as we love them, are in danger of extinction here in California. Come and learn with Peter Norton about their life cycle/needs and practical steps that we can take in Marin County to help with their survival.

After 40+ years of office jobs in the finance industry, Peter Norton retired in 2013. Since then, he has become an avid gardener, with a particular interest in creating native plant habitats. He is one of the lead volunteers at the Marin Master Gardener demonstration gardens at the Falkirk Cultural Center in San Rafael. Come see and be inspired to make your yard a friendly natural habitat for the creatures around us.
