Gardening for the Microcosmos: Insects in the Landscape

Join Mathew McDowell, Teatown Reservation's Wildflower Island Curator, for an in-depth walk and talk discussing the insect world!

Pollination services, predators, prey: insects are the cornerstones of terrestrial ecosystems. Without them, ecosystems would fall apart. Despite that, we often ignore their needs in our planted spaces. We'll discuss the importance of insect populations and how to help support them through thoughtful planting and maintenance.
