In actuality, there are very few damaging plant-eating insects in your
garden. The vast majority of insects are helpful and beneficial or don’t
eat plants and are benign. These beneficial insects are just ready, willing,
able and, in fact, have to help you with those pesky aphids. All you have
to do is let them. Come and learn about some very common beneficial insects and what you can and should not do to promote the likelihood of them staying in your garden. Just because it has six legs (the insects) doesn’t mean it has to be scary! Or eight legs for that matter (the spiders). Or many (the centipedes). Or very many the (millipedes).
