Insectaries are fascinating gardens - in bloom much of the time, and alive with some of Nature's most interesting creatures! Organic gardeners depend on beneficial insects as one of our frontline defenses against pest species. Yet how do we invite them to choose our gardens as their home and hunting ground? "Beneficials" are attracted to a specific ecosystem that provides food and habitat and supports their reproduction.
Learn to create pocket insectaries that include all of the plants and amenities required to attract beneficials and keep them in your garden. Your pocket insectary can be built in a container to move it anywhere you see a pest problem arising.
The class is taught by Angela Chandler, an expert organic gardener with specialties in plant propagation, entomology, rainwater harvesting and greenhouse management.
