No Tricks, Just Treats: Why Spiders Belong in Your Garden

Spiders get top billing every Halloween as creepy decorations, but there's much more to them than cobwebs and scares. Join PPAN and the Butterfly Pavilion on October 22nd from 12-1pm via Zoom to explore the role spiders play in our gardens and their connections to pollinators and the wider ecosystem. You'll come away with simple ways to support spiders in your everyday life, and you might just start seeing these eight-legged neighbors in a whole new light!
