A few of our younger gardeners get a bit nervous around some of the insects in the garden, even the more helpful ones.

This week one boy said he was going to smack a particularly persistent wasp with his clipboard.

One of our staff made a last-ditch attempt to come to the rescue of the insect. “No, that’s Samuel, he’s my friend!”

The boy hesitated and replied, “How do you know him?”

After that, it was an all-out competition to name every single wasp in the garden–they also found Samuel Jr. and Marie. Looks like they’re slowly warming up to the garden insects!
