Garden University: Insect Coloration Workshop
‘Tis the season to get crafty! Join us at the Oregon Gardens for a fun and informative class. We’ll start off the event learning about different types of coloration in insects, and the rolls it serves these critters. We will then make pendants out of real beetle wings and handmade glass beads. And since we are getting into the holidays, we will also decorate holiday cards.
