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, RWP family!!! We may not have reached our goal, but all of you got us to over $7,000 – more than twice as much as last year! 🌳🎉

Whether you donated, shared our page with friends, liked our posts, or sent good vibes our way, we appreciate your support and investment in the People`s Park! A gift to Roger Williams Park Conservancy builds and strengthens social and civic connections in a public green space we all share and steward.

With @pvdparks and our Park partners, we can`t wait to show you another year of programming, community-building, and fun! 🌞

If you donated $100 or more, watch your email over the next week for an invite to a party celebrating you at the @rwpboathousecafe! 🥂
