The Study of Insects

When we think about plants it is vital to also think about insects and their relationships with plants.  Some insects eat plants while some eat the insects that eat plants. 

As we learn how the different species coexist we can learn what environment to foster within our garden. 

​Some plants attract pollinators and can strengthen our gardening efforts.
