Join us for the second event in our 2025 Native Plant Speaker Series! Protecting plant pollinators is commonly viewed as just an insecticide issue. However, how does the abundance of flowering plants translate into fewer plant pests? How do pollinators themselves play a critical role in the reduced need for insecticides? Pest management and plant pollinators are two sides of the same coin in urban landscape ecosystems. This presentation reveals the multi-layered connections between pollen, nectar, and a parade of unsung insect heroes that can serve as effective partners in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs that keep pests in check in the gardens of the future. Join Joe Boggs, Assistant Professor & Entomologist from OSU Extension, for his insights on these fascinating topics!Meet for this event in the auditorium at Aullwood's Farm Discovery Center at 9101 Frederick Pike, Dayton OH 45414.
