Is your garden plagued by pests like cabbage moth caterpillars, cucumber beetles, tomato hornworm? Before you get out your pest spray, come find out the secrets of companion planting that will make you a successful gardener. Veteran farmer Grayson Wyman will share with you his decades of knowledge and the favorite companion plant combinations he uses in his 2 large vegetable gardens. With a large garden, he doesn't have time to deal with pest damage, so he learned how to garden the smart way, letting nature work for him. He uses plants successfully together to enhance each other's health and growth, limiting the number of pests he needs to deal with. We will have handouts and some free plants for you to use in your own garden. Rain or shine as we will be indoors. Lots of free parking. Refreshments will be served.
Please note: For children-centered gardening (and other fun) activities, we would recommend attending the "Messy Church", same day, same place, but later, from 4 to 6 pm.
