About the Event

Your tomatoes are blushing, the squash has abundant flowers, and your garden looks like it's on the verge of greatness… until you spot nibbled leaves. Who’s the culprit—bugs, bunnies, or backyard chickens?

Join us for a lively, interactive session where we tackle the biggest questions about keeping your garden healthy in midsummer. In this interactive garden talk, we’ll cover:  Who (or what) is eating your plants—and how to protect them. When and how to side-dress your veggies for a better harvest. What to mulch with—and what to avoid. How to create a garden habitat that welcomes beneficial insects and pollinators

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a mystery leaf or two. Let’s build a vegetable garden habitat that thrives—all season long.
