Building an Insect Hotel

Today, we’ll build a small insect hotel and offer tips on how to care for them. “Offering a sanctuary to beneficial insects, especially pollinators, insect hotels are considered to be the urban solution to declining population of beneficial insects in human environments due to habitat loss, pollution and abuse of pesticides. Insects provide many benefits to the ecosystem through pollination, nutrient cycle, and also as food source for birds.” (Source: entymologistlounge.com) If you have a portable drill, bring it along. In addition to the $10 class donation, we are asking for a $5 materials fee that can be paid on the day of the class.

Donate $10 for this class or purchase a package of classes. Rain/snow cancels the class

Please RSVP below, class is limited to 15 people. See you at the garden!
