Book
Jeanne Megel believes it is
time for NYC to go through a
metamorphosis - to say
goodbye to barren backyards
and hello to thriving gardens full
of butterflies. 
That’s why she has written
‘Raise Healthy Monarchs At
Home’, to show you how
everyone in NYC can protect
this incredible species in just a
few easy steps.
Although the butterfly is renowned
for its beauty, less has been
commonly known about how the
monarch contributes to the health of
the planet as one of the world’s key
pollinators.
Jeanne Megel’s new book
teaches residents of NYC not
only the key importance of the
monarch but how you can raise
them at home, even in the
middle of the US’ largest city. 
‘Raise Healthy Monarchs At
Home’ is the product of 10 years
of experience and research. As
a trained biologist, Megel
singularly raises around 500
healthy butterflies each season. 
One of the first steps an urban
gardener like yourself can take
to rehabilitate the population of
monarchs is to plant milkweed,
as well as butterfly-attracting
nectar plants. 
The book also has easy-to-
follow step-by-step instructions
on every phase of the butterfly
raising process, accompanied
by detailed explanatory
photographs.
