Step into the fascinating world of insects at our Insect Safari Evening, where science, nature, and curiosity come together in the garden! This educational event explores the incredible diversity of insects and their vital roles in ecosystems.

Try your hand at being an entomologist at our Discovery Stations and experience how entomologists study arthropods by exploring a pit trap site, observing crepuscular pollinator gathering sites, searching for arachnids in the gardens, and more!
