Get Free Ladybugs for Your Garden

Pike Nurseries will give away more than half a million ladybugs at stores this weekend, including the store in Roswell.

The Pike Nurseries store in Roswell is located at 615 West Crossville Road in the same shopping center as Trader Joe's.

Customers who drop by a store on Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2, will receive one free packet of ladybugs to help keep their garden healthy this summer. The gardening store will also provide fun ladybug coloring sheets for children.

Supplies are limited, so ladybugs will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis.

As the most popular form of organic pest control for the garden, the small bugs do big wonders for the garden since they prey on "bad" bugs like aphids, thrips and spider mites. Customers can learn more about ladybugs and how to attract other beneficial bugs to the garden at Pike Nurseries’ free Beneficial Bugs class, which will be held on Saturday, June 1 at 10 a.m. As always, seasoned experts will be on hand throughout the stores to offer helpful advice and answer any questions guests might have about insects, gardening and planting.
