Free Swamp Milkweed Plants

Get your free swamp milkweed plants and help the monarch butterflies see a successful season!

Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc staff will be giving out free milkweed seedlings at the Fredericton Boyce Farmers' Market on Saturday, June 14th. These plants were lovingly grown from seeds collected locally then grown at Skyline Gardens in Keswick.

Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed leaves and it is the only plant their caterpillars can eat. Milkweed flowers also provide nectar to many other insects and hummingbirds.

Make sure to come early - we have a limited supply, and these plants are popular!
