Freddy Otte came to my home, where I have been germinating native Asclepias fascicularis (Narrow-leafed Milkweed). We put 300+ into his truck! He took the small plants to “Growing Grounds Nursery” where the city has a contract to grow plants being used by the city of San Luis Obispo for a variety of reasons. Growing grounds will transplant my little plants into bigger pots and grow them a little more so they will have a better chance of surviving in the wild. My native milkweed is going to be used in demonstration gardens to educate our community about the need for milkweed and pollinator gardens in our city. Freddy told me he plans to put some of my plants in a new restoration project along the railroad safety trail here in SLO. I am so glad my plants will be used in such important projects that are designed to help the Western Migratory Monarch Butterfly!
