No garden, whatever its size, is free of plant problems such as pests, diseases and cultural (abiotic) disorders. In this workshop, you will learn methods to keep your plants healthy and prevent problems by making your plants more able to withstand potentially harmful organisms.
Learn about appropriate plant choices, favorable growing conditions, and good gardening practices. But when the inevitable problem does develop, you will want to be able to identify and control what specifically has damaged your plant.
