North Branch Nature Center; Elm St., Montpelier
In this presentation, you will learn strategies for creating more beautiful and biodiverse gardens. Biodiversity is the foundation of ecological soil, plant, and pest management, and thus, ecological resilience. In our gardens, we can better manage our soil and better design vegetative architectures to promote beneficial organisms and suppress pests. When we use soil and plant strategies to build in preventative pest suppression, we build in ecological resilience.
