Conservation with Monarch Ranch

Every choice we make at Monarch Ranch, from planting milkweed, to protecting nectar sources, and avoiding harmful chemicals,
is all centered on pollinator survival. We’re actively working to:

Restore habitats with native plants that provide food and shelter for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

Educate communities through field trips, workshops, and interactive tours, teaching the next generation about conservation.

Create Pollinator Pathways by designing and installing sustainable landscapes at schools, businesses, and public spaces across South Carolina.

Support monarch migration by offering a safe stopover for the Super Generation of monarch butterflies on their 3,000-mile journey to Mexico.

Etiquette in the garden

Elegance isn’t about rules — it’s about confidence.

This February 2026, join us for a Garden Etiquette Tea Party, a refined and educational experience designed to prepare children and adults for the spring social season. Our etiquette tea party blends timeless manners with a beautiful garden setting, where guests learn essential etiquette skills while seated at an elegant tea table surrounded by florals, fine china, and intentional calm.

Our etiquette lessons teach participants how to move through the world with quiet confidence — showing respect and kindness, feeling comfortable in social settings, and understanding courtesy, presence, and poise. These skills help both children and adults navigate gatherings, celebrations, and everyday interactions with ease rather than anxiety.

This experience is about more than tea. It’s about teaching elegance, awareness, and self-respect — lifelong skills rooted in confidence, grace, and connection.
