milkweed is a symbol of transformation and healing
Milkweed is a common plant native to the northeast with an uncommon purpose: it’s the sole food source for monarch caterpillars. It provides the nourishment that enables their metamorphosis into butterflies.
Milkweed’s Latin genus Aesclepias is named for the Greek god of medicine and healing. The plant continues to serve as an important indigenous source of both food and medicine.
Milkweed is a reminder of the ever-present possibility of transformation and healing and of our intricate connection with nature.
