Gardeners Exchange

Welcome “The Bug Man” July 26

The Gardeners Exchange, in conjunction with the SaddleBrooke/SaddleBrooke Ranch Master Gardeners, welcomes Dr. Carl Olsen, entomologist, “The Bug Man,” on Wednesday, July 26, at 1:00 p.m. to La Hacienda Club. “There is No Bad Bug!” Get a new perspective on bugs.

Step on it! Squash it! Spray it! That’s the usual reaction to seeing a bug. But entomologist Carl Olson has a different approach. He developed his childhood love of bugs into a career as assistant professor of entomology at the University of Arizona as well as the associate curator of the UAIC (University of Arizona Insect Collection). The UAIC is probably the largest collection of Southwestern bugs in the nation.

Open seating. All are invited to attend. If you have questions contact Laurie Foster at 520-268-1057.
