As Ron says, "It's a bug eat bug world". Join us as we learn how to reduce garden pests through natural and organic methods. This session will teach us how to modify our garden habitat so that we cultivate a relationship with benefical insects. We will learn how to set up our landscape to supply pollen and nectar to these garden-supportive creatures.
Ron Whitehurst, specialist in biological pest control and restoration of agro-ecosystems, consults for farmers, gardeners, consultants and practitioners. He facilitates learning about insect pests and solutions in field, greenhouse, landscape, garden, and animal rearing situations. His lively discussions about insect lifecycles and predator-prey relationships make the principles of biocontrol easy to understand. He is a member of the California Sustainable Pest Management Work Group, working with 25 stakeholders to develop a pathway to a future with less use of toxic pesticides.
