The Great Migration of the Monarch Butterflies

The San Leandro Butterfly Garden is a vibrant pollinator habitat and an important stop for migrating western monarch butterflies. Located beneath the striking Great Migration of the Monarch Butterflies mural on the rear wall of St. Leander School's gymnasium, the garden features native milkweed, bush monkeyflower, coyote mint, and other nectar-rich plants that provide essential food and habitat for monarchs and a variety of other pollinators. Maintained by dedicated community volunteers, this beautiful demonstration garden inspires visitors to support butterfly conservation by planting native species and creating habitat in their own neighborhoods.
