   What do Insects do in Winter?    Saturday Dec. 27th 10:30-12pm  When it's cold and snowy, where do all the insects go? Join us for a fun and interactive program to discover the surprising ways insects survive the winter! We'll learn together, ask curious question, and then get creative with hands-on insect crafts. Each participant will also go home with  free native seeds  to help support pollinators when spring arrives.
