When you find insects in your garden, your first instinct might be to destroy them, but that’s not always the best course of action. If you want to grow healthy vegetables naturally, join us for an informative discussion to learn about the power of beneficial insects in your vegetable garden. From pollinators that boost yields to natural predators that keep pests in check, you’ll learn how to attract and protect the insects that help your garden thrive.

We’ll also discuss the impact of chemical pesticides and herbicides on these helpful creatures, and explore sustainable, garden-friendly alternatives to support a balanced ecosystem.

Whether you’re new to gardening or looking to fine-tune your growing methods, this talk will provide practical tips to make your vegetable garden more productive—and more in harmony with nature.
