What are all those things crawling and flying around your garden, and are they dangerous? Join garden educator Lisa Taylor in a lively, hands-on session about insects in the garden. Almost every bug is either beneficial or feeds beneficial organisms, so it’s important to know who is friend and who is foe. Participants will learn how to encourage beneficial creatures to live in their gardens.
