         1.   Call your local plant nursery. Ask if they have

             milkweed plants or seeds.

         2.  If you are planting seeds, plant them in the fall.              What am I?

              Choose a sunny area.

         3.  Follow the directions on the seed packet.

         4.  If you are planting flowers from your nursery,

              plant them in the spring.

         5.  Keep the soil wet by watering your plants
              daily as needed.


         6.  Watch your plants grow. Look for monarchs!
