Monarch Media Monday 2024

Join us for a In-Person & Virtual Hybrid event featuring a panel of Experts.

Make Plans

Monday Sept 23 at Gathering Place 7PM

Join us for an exciting evening as we delve into transforming your open spaces into vibrant pollinator paradises! To cap off a week of celebrating Monarchs on the Mountain, our event features a dynamic panel of pollinator experts ready to share their insights. Discover inspiring examples of successful pollinator-friendly projects, including formal gardens replacing costly annuals with native plants that conserve water and reduce fertilizer use, and vacant lots blooming into living teaching gardens. Learn how to engage your community in pollinator initiatives and tree planting, and much more! The night kicks off with a lively social mixer at 6pm, followed by our panel presentation at 7pm. Don’t miss out—seating is limited, so be sure to RSVP today!

  • What do you envision when you hear the phrase Pollinator Paradise? 
  • How do you spot an open space that has potential for transformation? 
  • How can the community be included in transforming their open spaces? 
  • How can a community get started transforming an open space?
