In 2011 we worked with NYC gardens to learn more about pests and beneficial insects in urban gardens.  At this session we will give an update on what we are learning about best plantings and practices for attracting beneficial insects and reducing pest damage on crops.  We will also discuss ideas for further insect research in 2012-2013 that will help gardeners learn to manage pests ecologically.

Thank you to those who have already RSVPed.  If you haven’t RSVPed but would still like to attend, please give a call or email — we should have plenty of room (meganmgregory1@gmail.com or 847-287-7794).
