About the Event

Our gardens are home to a host of insects that prey upon or parasitize the insects that attack our plants. Master Gardener Candace Simpson will help you learn how to recognize these “natural enemies,” distinguish them from common pest insects, and encourage them to make your garden their home. Other methods for managing common insect pests will also be discussed.
