MILKWEED SEED POD COLLECTION INFORMATION

We are collecting Common Milkweed seed pods again this year to help support monarch butterflies. Please read carefully to make sure you correctly collect seed pods.

  1. Find an area or areas where there are a good amount of milkweed plants with harvestable pods. 
  2. Keep tabs on those areas to check on the pods throughout the month of September. 
  3. Once the pods start to look more brown or grey they are likely ready to be harvested. (Do not harvest green seed pods)
  4. Place seed pods in paper bags or cardboard boxes only.
  5. Wear gloves while collecting pods
  6. Remember to leave a couple pods per plant to ensure natural regeneration occurs. 
  7. Once the pods are collected, deliver to Medina SWCD. Drop it off in our milkweed seed collection bin.

 

Remember: Do not collect seed pods that are still green, they are not ready yet. If the seeds have milkweed beetles or other insects on them, do not collect them.
