id you know that the first monarch butterfly found in Mexican over- Dwintering colonies had been tagged by Minnesota volunteer citizen scientists? Until the time in 1975 when Chaska’s Jim Gilbert and his students tagged that first butterfly, the colonies had been unknown to the scientific community. This find was the culmination of more than 20 years of tagging efforts, started by Dr. Fred Urquhart at the University of Minnesota, intended to track the monarchs’ movements.

Lilies Lilium All bulbs found in the Lily Shop along north wall of the building Lilies make a bold statement in the garden. Most lilies prefer to be planted with their “heads in the sun, feet in the shade” in well-drained soil. They show off best in your garden planted in groups of three to five, and we offer prices to make that affordable. If you plant several groups with different blooming times, you can have lilies blooming June through October! Lilies are also good nectar plants for butterflies and moths.
