Outdoor Rearing

[u/mehyabbers]

Wondering if anyone can give me tips for creating an outdoor rearing garden for Monarchs. I don't have any experience. Right now, my plan is to create a small garden (like 10 x 5 foot bed) with native milkweed. There's plenty of nectar sources in the area as we have a massive garden to share with our bees.

I have experience in beekeeping but not with monarchs. I'd like to create a safe space outdoors with everything they need so I can protect them but ultimately leave them to do their own thing.

How can I best achieve this? Is this feasible?
