What's Happening in August at the GWC
This month, Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice will be speaking on Zoom about Common Ants in the Garden. You may think you’ve seen ants. It seems like they’re everywhere, and, after all, an ant is an ant, right? But there is so much more to know about these tiny creatures. Did you know that for every human on earth there are about one million ants? They are among the longest living insects and some of the strongest. Eleanor tells this story from her childhood, “When I was little, I took my breakfast crumbs out to the front yard to feed the black carpenter ants. I built little piles of bacon and toast for them on top of oak leaves and waited for them to lumber out from holes hidden in the bark at the base of the trees.” Her love of nature (and interest in ants) started at a young age.
As always, GWC members will receive a link via email to see the presentation live and text questions to our presenter. If you miss it, or more sadly still, if you’re not already a GWC member, we’ll post a recording a few days later on the GWC website. Better yet, join the GWC and watch it live! Just fill out and mail in the handy dandy membership application form you'll find elsewhere on this page.
