Erin Lavelle, a member of the Creative Placemaking Artist Engagement Team, will be leading an ‘eat like a bug in Bloomington’ project where visitors can help make and take home zines about the wild foods that both bugs and humans find delicious in Minnesota. Milkweed seed packets will also be available for fall planting.
