To the Editor:

Thanks to the generous coverage in the July 20 issue, we’re happy to report that the Monarch Breeding Project, started by the Garden Club of LBI this past spring, has been an unqualified success in its first year.

Our aim was not only to provide milkweed, the sole food for monarch larvae, but also to educate the public. After the article in your paper, interest soared with requests for information pouring in from as far as Texas.
