Beyond the Ladybugs
June 2 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

One of the hardest parts of gardening is keeping pests away. If your flower garden suffers from plant eating insects, don’t grab that can of toxic pesticides!

Don’t let their small size fool you though; many of them eat in a manner that brings a horror movie to mind!
