Integrated Pest Management

July 26, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm

$229

Every garden is home to a host of life. Unfortunately, some of the six- and eight-legged inhabitants are detrimental to the health and survival of plants. Learn how to manage insect pests in your garden using a “sustainable toolbox” approach. Focus on integrated pest management techniques as well as the identification of both harmful and beneficial organisms. Go home knowing how to control pests in your garden using safe, wildlife-friendly practices.
These classes are held rain or shine. Dress for the weather and wear reliable shoes as walking paths may be uneven.

This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center on Wednesday July 26 through Friday July 28, 2023.
