Don’t Bug the Bugs

Bring your child on a walk through the Gardens of Quiet Waters Park to experience bugs up close and learn why they are important to a healthy Chesapeake Bay. We’ll learn how to foster an appreciation for our bug friends and how we can help them thrive in your home landscapes. We will also learn tips on dealing with nuisance bugs without resorting to harmful pesticides. The walk will take approx. 1 hour. At the conclusion we will construct Bee Hotels to take home while enjoying snack time. Please bring your own snacks and water. Dress for the weather, expect to meet some bugs (including bees), and meet park Horticulturist Matt in the Blue Heron Center parking lot. FREE. (Rain date Sat., Oct 7)
