Flowers? Ladybugs? Onions? Ducks? DVDs? 

What do these things have in common? They are all pest management tools! 

New and seasoned growers often struggle with pests and disease in their gardens! It can be an extremely frustrating experience to try and grow your own food to avoid consuming toxic pesticides and chemicals, only to see your bountiful harvest overtaken by bugs, fungus, and disease while trying to grow food organically! All growers have and will experience some form of these issues. However, there are ways to prevent and even naturally treat these problems! Join us to learn to identify some of the most common garden pest & disease problems. In class, you will get a basic overview of easy prevention and treatment tactics that organic growers use to keep their crops healthy and receive the most abundant harvest possible! This class is mostly for beginner level growers, but all skill-levels are welcome. There is always more to learn and more to share with our growing community of gardeners!

Free, family-friendly class for Rooted East's Home Garden Program participants as well as other beginner growers!
