Adult Education class at Lewis Ginter (Pre-registration required!)

Insects play an essential role in the garden ecosystem — but they’re often misunderstood. Join insect expert Clara Aus for an engaging exploration of beneficial bugs and garden pests. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to identify common pests and discover sustainable, effective strategies for managing infestations without disrupting the natural balance of the garden. Through interactive activities, soil exploration, and a guided garden walk, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of insect roles in the garden and leave with practical tools to support a healthy garden. Let’s work with nature, not against it!
