‘Big Bugs’ descend upon Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

There’s nothing itsy bitsy about this spider – or any of the other pollinators featured in David Rogers’ Big Bugs exhibit – a collection of 10 wooden sculptures that arrived at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden May 27.

In addition to looking cool, the massive creatures – made up of found or fallen whole trees, willow limbs, twigs, branches and other forest material – are meant to educate garden-goers about the important role pollinators play in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystem.
