Plant hope, save our pollinators
Bloom and Butterfly is a nonprofit dedicated to restoring monarch habitats for free. Monarchs lay their eggs and nourish their young only on milkweed, but their habitats are disappearing. To bring them back, we send free milkweed seeds along with other pollinator-friendly seeds, mailed directly to you and ready to plant.

Sign up to receive a free envelope with a handful of milkweed seeds, the only food for monarch caterpillars. Your seeds will be mailed with instructions to help you create a habitat for monarchs to thrive.
-

Be the difference!
For generations, my family has been beekeepers, watching the world bloom. Nature is connected. Bees, butterflies, flowers, and people all rely on each other. When one fades, the rest follow.
Monarch butterflies are disappearing. Since the 1990s, their population has dropped by more than 80% due to habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. They have no hives, no keepers. All they have is milkweed, a plant that is vanishing from fields and roadsides. Without it, they can’t survive.
That’s why I started Bloom and Butterfly. We send free milkweed seeds to anyone willing to plant them, helping restore what’s been lost. To support bumblebees, we also include wildflower seeds, because every small life is connected. A single seed can bring back what’s fading.
There’s no time to wait. Plant one today before it’s too late.
