Too often, a gardener’s response to insect pests or diseases is eradication, when all that’s really necessary is a little patience. Native plant gardens contribute to local ecosystems in myriad ways, but we limit their value when we apply pesticides. Learn how the horticulturists at Garden in the Woods use organic practices to manage plant health care in the Garden and how you can do the same at home, in this class led by Mark Richardson on Wednesday, March 25 from 6 – 9. Fee is $40 for members of the New England Wild Flower Society, $48 for nonmembers. Register online at http://www.newenglandwild.org/learn/our-programs/organic-pest-management.
