Heroes and villains are all around us, some are big and some are small. All you have to do is open your eyes to look for them. Join us for our 3rd installment of the Etobicoke Master Gardeners & Humber Arboretum Garden workshop Series Heroes & Villains.

In this workshop the focus is on more than just good bugs and bad bugs. We will take you through the plants, trees, insects and mammals that can be helpful to your garden or hazardous to your garden or in some instances both. For this session we will not only discuss the topic indoors but we will take you on a tour of the Arboretum grounds to showcase some examples of the heroes and villains as well as discuss methods to encourage the heroes or discourage the villains.
