Pike Nurseries will give away over four million FREE ladybugs this month as a part of its annual Ladybug Weekend!
From Friday, April 26 through Sunday, April 28, customers at all Pike Nurseries locations will receive one FREE 150-count packet of ladybugs with any purchase (one per family, while supplies last).
Spring weather signals the return of harmful insects and pests. Aphids, mites and mealybugs may wreak havoc on gardens, but the pesticides that keep them at bay can be equally damaging to the fragile garden ecosystem.
Enter ladybugs: a gardener’s unexpected ally!
Ladybugs are voracious predators of aphids and other pests, making them a safe and eco-friendly way to promote a healthy garden environment.
FREE class on Beneficial bugs
Pike Nurseries is also hosting a “Beneficial Bugs” class at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 27 at most stores.
During this complimentary class, the pros at Pike Nurseries will discuss beneficial insects such as ladybugs, bees, and praying mantises. You’ll learn how they play a crucial role in gardens by helping control pests, pollinate plants and contribute to overall biodiversity. The class will also cover tips on how to attract, identify and nurture these helpful creatures.

Guests at all stores will receive a FREE pack of ladybugs with purchase, while supplies last.
