Curiosity drives many gardeners to grow and learn

The briefing

A WSU Master Gardener column shares a personal parenting anecdote about overcoming a child's fear of wasps by teaching her about solitary and social insects, including cicada killers. The column highlights how educational outreach from Master Gardener programs can transform fear into scientific curiosity. A local hands-on Solitary Bee Harvesting class is scheduled for Oct. 7 at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery.
