SUMMARY:Good Bugs\, Bad Bugs…and the Complicated Ones
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the creatures crawling through your garden\, buzzing around your flowers\, or sneaking into your home? Join us for a journey into the world of commonly seen “good bugs\,” “bad bugs\,” and those that fall somewhere in between.  We’ll explore pollinators\, garden pests\, invasive species\, and backyard allies as we discover who helps\, who harms\, and why nature rarely fits neatly into heroes and villains. \n\n\nDennis Osborn and Lucas Russell\, Master Gardener Volunteers \n$10.00 to $15.00— $10 Members\, $15 General Public

SUMMARY:Seed Saving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Grassroots Gardens of WNY at Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village in a session on seed saving 101. We will address the importance of saving seeds and how implementing this process can lead to robust plants adapted to your growing conditions. Participants can expect to have a hands-on demonstration on how to process\, store\, and document seed saving. Folks can bring their own seeds to process as well.  \nGrassroots Gardens WNY is an independent organization of gardeners and activists in Buffalo and Niagara Falls\, NY\, committed to facilitating local community gardens. Our model is truly grassroots – we are entirely community driven in the creation\, management\, and upkeep of over 100 community and school gardens. GGWNY’s mission is to share knowledge\, power\, and resources to grow healthy food\, heal systemic harm\, and strengthen neighborhood connections through our gardens. \nGrassroots Garden’s staff team has diverse experiences and expertise in gardening topics\, much of which is learned through working with a knowledgeable and broad group of community gardeners. We enjoy opportunities to share our knowledge in classrooms\, workshops\, and lectures when the opportunities arise!  \n$37 Non-Members; $32 BNHV Members
