We all know there are good guys and bad guys in our gardens. Flies, wasps, beetles, bugs - are they good or bad? The answer is both. And while encouraging beneficials in the garden is important, gardeners usually don't understand their enemies well enough. So this class will concentrate on the biology and lifecycles of our most common garden pests. We will also discuss many of our beneficial friends and techniques to get more of them to help in the struggle.

We continue to learn just how important creating/maintaining native habitat is for a healthy ecology. Native plants are critical to the health of our insect and bird populations, but there can be a couple of stumbling blocks to incorporating them into our more managed garden spaces. First, what does native mean? Second, which plants work well in a more managed situations, offering both aesthetic and native benefits? In this session, horticulturist Kevin Wilcox will specifically discuss shrubs that are up to the task in a variety of cultural conditions.
