With orange and black monarch butterflies fluttering in the background, Solana Beach City Council members and the SeaWeeders Garden Club cut the ribbon to mark the opening of a new pollinator garden along the east wall of the La Colonia Community Center on June 24.
The new garden, which was planted in April, is part of the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge to support the dwindling monarch butterfly population.
“The idea here is to have a diverse array of milkweed for monarchs, which are endangered, and other nectar plants that attract not only butterflies but also bees, hummingbirds, other kinds of pollinators,” said Kathleen Drummond, president of the SeaWeeders.
