The Caterpillar Lab at Bedrock Gardens

The Caterpillar Lab at Bedrock Gardens

Bedrock Gardens is excited to announce the return of the Caterpillar Lab on June 7th and 8th. Bring the whole family to see live caterpillar displays and learn how the Caterpillar Lab cares for these beautiful, fascinating insects. Find out what they eat, how they metamorphosize, and how they defend themselves in the wild. See living caterpillars of all shapes and sizes under a microscope, and find out which ones might live in your own backyard! Great for all ages, and perfect for families and nature lovers.

Join a Caterpillar Hunt through the Gardens
Arrive later in the day, and join Caterpillar Lab Director Sam Jaffe on a walk-through Bedrock Gardens looking for native caterpillars and other insects. These special walks will be held from 2-3PM on both days, June 7 and 8. The walk is appropriate for naturalists, gardeners and explorers both young and old. Best for children ages 11 and up. The walk is free with admission, and is limited to 20 participants.
