Are aphids, flea beetles and stink bugs ruining your summer and wrecking havoc in your garden? Join the Bennington Chapter UVM Extension Master Gardeners for an introduction to Integrated Pest Management this Saturday, June 26 from 10 -11:30 am at the Bennington Community Garden on Bradford Street.

Integrated Pest Management is a systems approach that uses cultural, biological, and mechanical controls to maintain pests below "injurious" levels. The Bennington Community Garden will serve as our "classroom and attendees will visit various plots around the garden, including the Master Gardener's Demonstration site. Please bring water and your best pest questions! Kiddos are welcome but please leave pets at home.
