Master Gardeners Present: ATTRACTING BENEFICIAL INSECTS TO YOUR GARDEN
Master Gardeners of San Mateo and SF Counties
Learn to identify “Good Bugs” and how to put them to work in your garden! Most gardens contain far more good bugs, or beneficial insects, than pests. Lure these beneficial insects to your garden and let them manage the pests. You can reduce or eliminate your use of costly and harmful pesticides and turn your garden into an environmentally friendly habitat for your plants, animals, bees, and other beneficial insects.
This class will be taught by Master Gardeners Alan Ernat and Judith Dean. Alan has been a Master Gardener since 2008. His lifelong enjoyment of all things wild led to a degree in natural history from the University of California in 1974. He now works with Fog City Landscape, Every Bloomin’ Thing and as a garden consultant. Judith has been a Master Gardener since 2006. She has been been a Filoli docent for over 10 years and attended Foothill College’s Horticulture Program.
