Insects in the Garden: Friend or Foe?

  • This event has passed.

Pam Gilpin, self-trained in the science of entomology and an estate gardener in the Newport area, will offer an informative photo essay and discussion about insects found in our gardens. Insects play an essential role in our gardens as pollinators, predators, recyclers of decomposing animal and plant material and as a source of food for birds, mammals and other insects. Learn how to create the right habitat so that you can have insects working for you in your garden.

Workshop is FREE. Preregister 24 hours in advance by emailing [email protected].

THANK YOU to everyone who made Rosé in the Roses so memorable! Last Thursday, we celebrated the Conservancy and community, while giving a bittersweet send-off to RWPC’s outgoing board chair, Joe Pari.

Shout-out to @theprovidencedrumtroupe and @thesoundofgravity for filling the Botanical Center with magical sights and sounds – we can’t be the only ones still humming Pink Pony Club, right? 🤩 And to talented musicians Ashley Frith and @luisgilbertord for serenading guests throughout the night!

Stay tuned for a part-2 recap highlighting the rest of our amazing vendors and sponsors who made this year’s event one for the books!
