Checking in to the Bug Hotel

from The Helpful Gardeners Hosted by Golden Acre Home and Garden

So, you know how things go when you're tidying up the garden in the fall? Brandi's husband got really into his cleanup this year and ended up building something totally awesome: a bug hotel! It got us thinking about these cool little shelters and how they're basically VIP lounges for all the helpful insects that keep our gardens thriving. As the weather gets chilly, these tiny neighbors need a safe spot to crash, so let's get into the low-down on building a snug bug hotel in your own space! ---------------------- CONNECT WITH US Thank you so much for supporting our podcast and for making the world a more planty place.
