Join the Trent Vegetable Gardens for this interactive workshop all about managing the critters in your garden

Past Garden Coordinator Kirsten Goekel will lead us in Identifying insects, both friends and foes and teach us simple ecological practices to minimize pest damage in the garden.  Learn about insect life cycles, how to attract beneficial insects, basic garden practices to deter pests and more. There will also be the opportunity to do some troubleshooting together, so bring your garden pest questions. This workshop may just be the key to breathing easy in the garden all season long!

The Trent Vegetable Field Garden can be found northeast of the DNA & Life Sciences building on Trent University's East Bank.
