Join us for a virtual exploration of your garden’s hidden helpers! Hillary Peterson, IPM Specialist for DACF Plant Health Programs, will discuss scouting techniques and tools to identify beneficial insects and other natural allies, while Gary Fish, State Horticulturist, will highlight native plants that support these important creatures. Learn practical ways to observe, encourage, and protect beneficials in your garden from the comfort of your home.
