Monarch Watch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to monarch butterfly conservation and education, grants this certification to gardens that provide the necessary resources for monarchs to thrive.

This designation highlights the garden’s role in fostering a healthy environment for pollinators and promoting awareness of butterfly preservation.
