Bring in The Beneficial Bugs
Did you know that over 90% of the bugs we see in the garden are actually beneficial? Inviting beneficial bugs is one of the best ways to increase the overall health of the garden, while significantly reducing the pests. In this class you will learn about who the most common beneficials are, what they're doing, and how to keep them around. This class is ideal for a gardener of any level.
This is a free event, and registration is required.

International Monarch Monitoring Blitz - Workshop! (Day 1 of 2)
Join us for a two-day workshop exploring the world of monarch butterflies in Sonoma County! Don't miss the chance to delve into the fascinating life cycle of these incredible creatures and discover the vital role of California native milkweed. Participate in an interactive field day within Sonoma County Regional Parks, where you'll make meaningful observations for the International Monarch Monitoring Blitz and contribute to an important cause. Experience the blend of education and conservation, and leave inspired to protect these beautiful butterflies!
This event is free. Registration is required - Click here to sign up!
The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz is a call to action for individuals, organizations, and community scientists across North America to unite to conserve monarch butterflies and their dependent habitats. Participating in the Monarch Blitz entails tracking your observations of the monarch butterfly. If you encounter a monarch egg, caterpillar, and/or adult or milkweed, regardless of location, near the end of July or the beginning of August, you’re encouraged to share your observation with one of several Community Science programs. We will use INaturalist.org for the workshop, making it as easy to upload observations as it is to post on social media.
