“The migration of the Monarch butterflies is one of the wonders of the world – we must save it for future generations.” Dr. Jane Goodall
From the beginning of Whimsical Wings Farms, we made a heartfelt commitment to support the movement to save the Monarch butterfly. For years, their population has hovered just above endangered status—a sobering reminder of how fragile their future is. To be part of the solution, we knew we had to help restore their habitat, a critical piece in sustaining their life cycle.
Milkweed, the Monarch’s sole host plant, is essential to their survival. Increasing its presence in the world is not just beneficial—it’s necessary. But habitat restoration alone isn’t enough. Education plays a vital role. Across the globe, efforts are underway to raise awareness about this incredible species. Monarchs are the only butterflies that migrate and their life cycle is full of wonder and transformation. It doesn’t take much to fall in love with them.
We found ourselves dreaming: what if everyone became a Monarch enthusiast? What if each person planted just one milkweed—whether in a garden or a simple pot on the deck? What if we could spark a movement, inspiring others to act for the Monarch? Our ultimate goal is to ensure future generations can marvel at their beauty, not mourn their absence.
That’s why we created our Life Cycle Kit—a hands-on way to witness the magic of metamorphosis. With carefully selected contents, it provides everything needed to raise and release a Monarch butterfly, making it simple and rewarding for people of all ages to take part.
Our hope is to help create a world where the Monarch’s survival is no longer in question. A world where we don’t have to talk about their decline, because their beauty is thriving in our gardens, our skies, and our stories—shared with our children and grandchildren.
Let’s be part of that world. Together.
