LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Our WDRB monarch habitat is growing!
Two months ago, WDRB employees, led by reporter Darby Beane, planted the WDRB Flutter Farm, in partnership with the Louisville Zoo. It's a habitat filled with milkweed and other plants designed to be a refuge for the endangered migrating monarch butterfly population.
At least one butterfly has already stopped by.
The garden has been featured regularly on WDRB Mornings this summer.
