Recognizing and attracting natural enemies to urban farms and gardens
May 4, 2021
12:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Join us for a free workshop on conserving natural enemies of pests on urban farms and gardens. We'll cover topics like: how to recognize natural enemies vs. pests and where/how to look for them. This workshop is part of a 3-year project we're starting in 2021, so we'll also provide an overview of project goals and introduce you to fellow urban growers who will be participating. You'll leave with new skills and resources for recognizing natural enemies, and all participants will receive (by mail) a hand lens to help you get a closer look at smaller insects.
