Gardening for Monarch Butterflies, a talk by Shelkie Tao 
Thursday, July 25, 2024 07:00pm
 

Since the 1980s, the Western monarch butterfly population has declined by more than 90%. In this talk, we will take a look at the Western monarch butterfly, why its population has declined, and most importantly – how we can help them right now – by gardening using the right native plants.

Shelkie Tao is a landscape designer and founder of www.WaterEfficientGardens.com, an online landscape design business that excels in low water and native garden designs. She is the Landscape Committee chair of Valley Water. Prior to Water Efficient Gardens, Shelkie worked over 10 years in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. She received her Certificate of Achievement in Environmental Horticulture and Design from Foothill College and an MBA from the Anderson School at UCLA.
