Members of the Leavenworth County Master Gardeners program, part of the Kansas State Research and Extension Office for Leavenworth County, were working Thursday on their garden at 500 Eisenhower Road.
The group is planning a monarch butterfly open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 25 at the location, a time when monarchs are thought to be migrating through the area on their way to warmer climates in Mexico.
The garden features milkweed that larval monarchs primarily eat and other plants, like parsely, that other species of butterflies like.
