Science On Tap 4/8 In Vancouver: Boosting Biodiversity With Insect-Friendly Gardens (Photo) - 03/18/26

Date: Wed, April 8th, 2026

Time: 7 pm

Location: Kiggins Theatre Vancouver, Wa

Tickets: $15-$45

Event Website: scienceontaporwa.org/events/kiggins_apr_8_insect_gardens/

 

8 things you can do to create more insect-friendly habitat in your own garden! Learn:

  • to appreciate aphids
  • to prioritize pollen over nectar
  • why you should feed caterpillars and with what
  • who’s living in your perennial stems
  • how to attract more “tickle bees” to your landscape, and
  • how to control mosquitoes in your pond (without fish!)

Amy Campion grew up in Minnesota, but she became a gardener in the Cincinnati area, where she worked at a wholesale nursery for 16 years. In 2013, she moved to Portland, Oregon, and in 2017, Amy co-authored Gardening in the Pacific Northwest: The Complete Homeowner’s Guide.


Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, drink a pint, and enjoy learning. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don't have to be a science geek to have fun--all you need is a thirst for knowledge! For more information on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.
