Maintaining a healthy garden is the first step to dealing with pests.  We'll introduce the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach and discuss how to deal with specific pests in a sustainable and proactive way.  We'll walk around the garden and look for challenges and talk about how to handle them.  Check out the UC Davis website, http://ipm.ucdavis.edu - a treasure trove of information on pests and diseases.
