About this event
Are insects invading? Is your mold multiplying? You're not alone! Pests plague every garden, big and small. Join Chelsea to learn how pests and pathogens are managed in the outdoor gardens of the U.S. Botanic Garden through Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Then she will take questions about your garden concerns.
