Learn to control common garden pests by supporting abundant diverse insect communities with plantings and other critical components. We will delve into implementing organic controls for the few pests who don’t respond to this approach (a.k.a. bring your own bugs!). This informative, question-based workshop will start with stories and examples and broaden into core concepts for implementing a gardenscaping approach to pest management.

This series’ goal is to empower growers to cultivate environments that not only support their agricultural endeavors but also support pollinator populations native to the WNC region. By understanding how to provide conditions to increase biodiversity and regulate a balance, growers can nurture essential allies, contribute to conservation efforts, and enjoy an easier growing season overall.
The three classes in this series will explore various topics essential to achieving these aims. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just beginning your journey, join us in this enriching exploration of holistic gardening.
