Organic practices in the garden involve correct timing of garden chores to build and protect soil fertility, the selection and planting of the best garden varieties for our climate, proper management of weeds and insects, as well as proper watering techniques. Pest management will be highlighted in this presentation. If weather permits, participants will be led in an insect scouting activity as part of an Integrated Pest Management strategy.
