In this outdoor class, you’ll meet face-to-face with the most common garden pests and diseases and learn to control them organically through smart gardening techniques. We’ll learn about attracting beneficial organisms to the garden and how to prevent unhealthy conditions where diseases thrive. You’ll leave with the confidence and resources needed to tackle almost any future garden problem. This class will be outdoors with hands-on activities. Please dress for the weather and messy garden soil.
