SUMMARY:Garden University: Beneficial Insects and Cockroach Painting
DESCRIPTION:Learn to garden with beneficial insects and paint with cockroaches! \n\nDuring this workshop\, we will learn all about the good insects in your garden and how to encourage their presence. We know about how great ladybugs and praying mantids are\, but did you know there are many more awesome critters out there that can help eat those pesky caterpillars and aphids? Students will also receive several handouts that contain helpful resources and information on beneficial insects and pollinators. Next\, we will check out some pre-collected beneficial arthropods\, and then take a little field trip to see what we can find around the garden. Finally\, we will paint with giant Madagascar hissing cockroaches! \n\n*This class is for ages 10+. Limited spaces available\, sign up today!  \n__ \nMembers: $25 | General: $30 \nClick HERE to Purchase Tickets \nPurchase of a ticket includes admission into The Garden \n__ \nAbout the instructor: Heather Andrews is a research entomologist at Oregon State University.  She works at a university extension office in Aurora where she studies growing practices in orchard crops that minimize their negative impact on the environment while maximizing yield.  In her free time\, Heather makes jewelry\, draws\, and also plays the harp.
