This Saturday at Spalding Skate Park in Champaign, the Champaign Park District‘s horticultural booth will be giving away free butterfly milkweed plants, which are crucial to the continued existence of Illinois’ Monarch Butterfly population (which is currently endangered).
Outside of the free plants, the Summer Kick Off will feature live art, popsicles, and much more. For more information, check out the description from the Facebook Event below:
