We'll introduce the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to pests in the garden. IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage. Non-toxic approaches usually can solve the problem, and only as a last resort are pesticides used. We'll discuss how to deal with specific pests in a sustainable, eco-friendly yet proactive way.
Followed by Grand Rounds in the garden - tour the garden with Master Gardeners and bring your questions!
