Gardening, like many pursuits, continues to evolve based on the latest scientific studies and experimental evidence. In this class we’ll present science-based ways of employing companion planting to manage pests of many kinds, including insects, weeds, and disease. The process of observing and maintaining a healthy balance in our gardens directly aligns with principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
In this class we will:
- Discuss plant partnerships and why they work on a conceptual level, and provide examples of each
- Detail the IPM control types and implementation steps
The objective of this class is to empower the home gardener to use these concepts to solve their own specific pest problems.
