with Jonathan Draper, Alameda County Master Gardener
While some insects attack our vegetables, others are a great help in the garden. Come find out how to get and keep the insects you want. Alameda County Master Gardener Jonathan Draper will introduce us to beneficial insects and their use in organic gardening. He will cover a variety of his favorite “good-guy” insects and some of the “bad guys” that they eat or attack. Learn what plants you can integrate into your garden to bring in the good guys and what you can do to keep them around.
