Lucile Morehouse

Lucile Morehouse, age 13, is an active 4-H member in Choctaw County, Oklahoma. She created a service project that focuses on saving pollinators. Last year Lucile was awarded the Youth Enhancement Grant from the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation. This one-time grant allowed Lucile to distribute 600 pollinator seed packets that went to 16 different states. This year, thanks to generous donations from across the nation, Lucile met her goal and will be able to distribute the seed packets again!

Lucile partnered with the USDA/Turner seeds to distribute their pollinator seed mix that is great for the whole state of Oklahoma. The mix includes native plant species that help native pollinators. Lucile along with Kiamichi Technology Centers Skills USA volunteer committee packaged 2,000 seeds this year! She attended Durant’s Earth Day celebration and has given hundreds of seed packets out. The furthest her seeds have traveled are to Alaska, United Kingdom and Germany. She’s been in many national publications for her work. “Plant a seed, grow a flower, feed a pollinator,” Lucile said, “It’s a service project to help our pollinators. Because without them our food sources would quickly disappear!”

I have 24 Asclepius tuberosa plants that I counted today. These are mostly 3-4 year old plants that were started from nursery stock. The root ball on one totally surprised me how huge it was! Bigger than a basketball. I divided coneflowers and yarrow today. My monarda has taken over and I had to thin it out a lot to keep the milkweed growing.
Last year, I witnessed a monarch land on an emerging milkweed that was pushing up the soil. The butterfly proceeded to lay eggs! One person told me that they can actually sense or smell it from over one mile away. It changed my entire focus on the landscape.

I would like to be in contact with other members of Okies for Monarchs for assistance in designing my Monarch pollinator habitat.

I’m just a simple person and scrolled through my phone and saw this thing about monarchs numbers were dropping and thought I would try to plant some things that would attract them to my yard. My flower bed just to help the population back up and because they’re beautiful.
