Hello
I live in Washington County. I am wondering if there is a resource or map where I can find clusters of Milkweed plants growing. This is my 2nd year collecting Monarch eggs, nurturing them and watching them hatch. Several of my older grandchildren are very interested in helping me look. Any ideas where we might look? Of course, on public land.
Thank You!

I don't know of such a resource. My own experience is that milkweed can be found almost anywhere: trails, public parks, roadsides, bike paths:
