Dr. Matt Borden – Plant Pathologist – Common Garden Pests
As every seasoned gardener knows, pest management is a never-ending concern. Some seek aesthetic perfection and gain frustration. Others surrender to sharing the garden with every hungry critter. If we can’t beat the pests, we should at least understand them better. In some cases, we may even learn to respect these organisms for their peculiar virtues and thereby assuage our frustration. In this lecture, we will explore several problematic pests, diseases, and cultural practices in our landscapes from a perspective that benefits the gardener and brings us closer to our landscapes. There may be moments of self-reflection as we work to improve our plants’ health.
This month's presentation is:
"A new perspective on the gardener’s nemeses"
6pm-7pm Social Hour in Mint Museum Atrium
7pm-8pm Speaker Presentation in Auditorium
$15 for non-members
We encourage you to bring an appetizer or dessert to share for the social hour.
