The beloved monarch butterflies are currently in crisis, so we've created an easy way for you to help build habitat for them at home!

The Monarch Sanctuary Seed Collection is a curated set of five seed packets which have been specifically selected for their benefit to monarch butterflies at both the adult and larval stages of their life cycle*. The collection is assembled by hand and packaged in a bespoke collector’s packet, beautifully crafted to celebrate the western monarch butterfly and the plants that support it.

This collection not only creates a healthy monarch habitat, but also adds stunning beauty and texture to sunny corners and well-lit patches of the garden.
