Mall of America is green every day of the year. But we truly celebrate in April which is Earth Month. Boasting more than 30,000 live plants and hundreds of trees, people often wonder how we handle potential plant pests. On this episode of So Much More, we feature two guests who are integral to our most fun and educational event to honor Earth Month, our annual Ladybug release! [Hint: they take care of other pests.] James Everhart a.k.a. our Resident Bug Wrangler (and landscaper) joins Paulette Bonneur who attends with her amazing Girl Scout Troop every year.
