Event description

Less than 5% of insects in your garden harm your plants or property, and many of them help you manage those pests that do! Join us to learn about how to identify good bugs from bad ones, how they help keep the aphids away, and who is pollinating your flowers in the garden so you can get fruit or save seed. We will take a walk to the West Seattle Bee Garden at the High Point Commons and go on a hunt for beneficials and pollinators. You will also be invited to pick flowers to take home from the garden.

Registration is required. Please register by calling the High Point Branch at 206-684-7454.

Walk-ins are welcome if space allows.
