Experienced horticulturalist and presenter Kat Lavers will teach you how to manage common pests and diseases in your garden using simple natural methods. This workshop will include an indoor presentation and an outdoor portion where you will have a chance to see the Hunt Club’s beautiful garden and learn more about pest and disease management. Please note, we will remain inside in the event of bad weather.

Topics covered include:

• Identifying pests and diseases

• Addressing the causes

• Encouraging beneficial insects

• Prevention, management, and treatment using natural methods

Please remember to wear sunscreen and a hat when outdoors.
