A comprehensive online class on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for the home garden, featuring Adam Romero, Associate Professor at the University of Washington, in collaboration with the Master Gardener Foundation of King County, is set to empower attendees with valuable insights into maintaining a thriving and pest-resistant garden.
The course delves into the historical evolution and practical application of Integrated Pest Management, emphasizing that it is not a singular action but a series of practices implemented throughout the year. These practices aim to systematically reduce pest populations while adopting environmentally conscious methods.
Participants in the class will acquire essential skills in evaluating, monitoring, and responding to various pest situations. The focus will be on implementing strategies that prioritize the use of the least toxic options, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly pest management practices.
Organized by the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society and the Master Gardener Foundation of King County, this educational initiative aims to empower home gardeners with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective pest management, fostering healthy and thriving gardens.
