Did you know that tropical milkweed is now listed as in invasive species in all of Florida? It is important to plant Florida native milkweed such as Asclepias incarnata to feed the Monarch and Queen butterfly caterpillars. This will lessen the caterpillar's chance of becoming infected with the OE. Native milkweed goes dormant in the winter, encouraging the monarchs to leave on their annual migration South.

Natural Treasures Farm & Nursery currently has 1 gallon pots of Native Pink Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). We are located at 10870 SE 25th Ave Trenton FL 32693 and are open Wednesdays 8:30 a.m. - noon and Saturdays 8:30 a.m. - noon. Otherwise open by appointment.

This is a sustainable landscape. Natural Treasures Farm & Nursery can help you build on your sustainability.

The chickadee family in your hedge is raising six chicks right now. Between the two parents, they're delivering caterpillars to the nest roughly every ninety seconds from dawn to dark.

By the time the chicks fledge, that pair will have removed thousands of caterpillars from your trees. No spray. No service contract. No invoice.

That's one species. One nest. Three weeks of work.

The bat under your shutter does the same thing for mosquitoes after dark. The garden spider rebuilds her web every night and catches what the bat misses. The earthworms under your mulch are converting dead leaves into soil structure without a rototiller.

Your yard runs a service economy — pest control, pollination, soil building, decomposition — staffed around the clock by animals that don't send a bill.

🌿 What keeps them working:

- Leaf litter stays in the beds — it's where the spiders hunt and the earthworms feed
- No broad-spectrum spray — it removes the employees along with the problem
- Dense shrubs and hedge — that's the housing. No housing, no staff

Nobody notices what the yard does until the system stops doing it. A sprayed lawn with no hedge and no leaf litter is a yard that fired its entire crew.

The most valuable thing on your property works for free. It just needs to not be fired 🌱
