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!
