Join us for a FUN-filled afternoon with Melissa Palmer. She will give you all you will need to make your own fabulous Mini Beast Mansion, a home for beneficial insects for your very own garden. This bug hotel is a family favorite and is great fun to watch as a range of bees, butterflies, ladybugs and other insects check-in for a stay. Come and learn a little bit about the bugs in your backyard and the benefits of keeping them there. “If you build it, they will come”! This is a family friendly activity. Parents welcome to watch and learn!

Melissa Palmer is a Master Gardener, Master beekeeper, Mason bee specialist and a proponent for beneficial insects and lectures on the topic.
