About this program:

In 2024, three periodical cicada broods will emerge in Illinois! Join us in April to learn more about these interesting insects. Horticulture Educator Jamie Viebach will share this winged creature’s history, lifecycles, and what effect they will have on plants and our lifestyle. (For those interested, there also will be a cicada recipe to take home!)
