Build a Bug Snug

Create a functional, two-foot-tall sculptural structure from twigs and stems to provide a winter habitat for garden insects.

Support winter wildlife and re-purpose garden cuttings with a bug snug, an easy-to-make sculptural structure made of twigs and stems that provides a place for insects and invertebrates to overwinter. Participants will work with Brooks Burleson, artisan and owner of Natural Stone Installation, to make a functional and attractive two-foot-tall structure to take home for your yard or garden.
