Raising Supplies GOING, GOING, GONE SHARE Your Experience 🌿🐛 ✍

Raise the Migration Results + Lessons Learned Raising Forward

Good Weekend Royal Raiser,

I hope you’ll be enjoying an extended holiday weekend with family, good friends, and fabulous food.

As I’ve mentioned before, we are in the middle of shutting down our raising supplies shop, and the end is coming a bit sooner than expected…

Labor Day SHOP Farewell 👋

This labor day weekend is the final time to buy raising supplies from our shop. As you might have noticed, most of the supplies are sold out but you can still buy these supplies through Tuesday, September 2nd. We pay shipping on all shop orders $50+

  1. Little hole lids ⬅️ only buy these IF you already own our ‘fat cat’ floral tubes, which are already sold out. These alternative lids are for thin-stemmed cuttings to prevent baby caterpillar drownings

  2. Garden for Life Pollinator Garden Flags ⬅️ (20% OFF and a good gift idea for the upcoming holidays!)

  3. Raising Butterfly and Milkweed Quickstart Guides ⬅️ (instant PDF downloads: save an extra 15% when you bundle with lids or flag)

Thank you for all your support over the past decade. 😍 Don’t worry, I’m not giving up on supporting monarchs and other beneficial pollinators and will still publish a newsletter and the monarch butterfly garden blog to help you achieve these goals.

In fact, during this final weekend of August, I’m still raising 9 monarchs to release for the great fall migration and will be sharing our 2025 raising experience with you (in this newsletter) sometime toward the end of September.

I know many of you are still raising your migration generation butterflies, or perhaps, just about to start?

If you've gone through the all raise the migration info, and released your final butterflies for 2025, please check out the following info...

In the next few weeks I will be adding my lessons learned to the Share Your Experience post and also getting back to the garden with helpful info on our favorite planting season for perennial milkweed...FALL! 🍂

Until then,

Happy Raising 🌿🐛🦋🙌
