    Kenneth Abernathy Speaker Saving the Monarch Butterfly 

    Thursday, April 24, 2025, 6-8 pm

    United Church of Christ, 4070 Jackdaw Street 



    Monarch butterflies undertake a remarkable migration traveling some 3000 miles from Canada and northern United States to warm regions in California and Mexico to escape the cold.  San Diego County is a crucial overwintering site for the Western Monarch population arriving in August and staying over the winter. But it’s not happening how you think despite the fact that yes, unfortunately, the Western Monarch has been in decline since the 1980s with a drop of 86% in between 2018 and 2019. So what’s the story?


    Kenneth Abernathy is a California Naturalist and spends a large potion of his time studying urban habitat to create and deliver high quality education to the public.  He is also a friend of the Monarch and is dedicated to providing pesticide free plants for consumption of caterpillars. “ It’s looking more and more like here in San Diego County that Monarchs are discovering new areas to survive during the winter in climate change and winter stays warm.  This is a crucial time for us to start thinking ahead and creating lasting habitats that aren’t cut down in the fall.” (Lakeside Facebook Dec 2024)

    TAKE A GARDEN WALK THROUGH TIME MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND




    The Mission Hills Garden Walk is presenting its 2025 Garden Walk theme of “TAKE A GARDEN WALK THROUGH TIME” on Saturday, May 10 from 10 am to 4 pm.  This year’s theme will be illustrated in many gardens, including the Grant TK-8 School organic Gecko Garden.  Local musicians and artists will be in the gardens to add to the festivities.  There will also be a Garden Oriented Bazaar, food demonstrations, and with garden related items for purchase.  The Mission Hills Garden Walk was inaugurated by the Mission Hills Garden Club in 1999 and has become a celebrated annual community event. Each year a number of Mission Hills homeowners agree to open their magnificent gardens to the community. 

     

    Tickets are $40 each, kids under 10 free, and will be sold online in half-hour increments beginning April 1 at MissionHillsGardenClub.org. The funds raised will be used to continue the club’s Community College scholarship program, support Mission Hills Summer Concerts in the Park and help fund neighborhood beautification projects.  Ticket purchasers who elect to become members of the Garden Club will receive a $15 discount from their membership fee.


    The Garden Walk will begin at the Mission Hills Nursery, 1525 Fort Stockton Avenue where attendees will pick up their wrist bands and booklets.
