Join Janell Weiss at the Greenville Public Library for her second workshop on Thursday June 11th at 6:30. Janell works for the Darke Soil & Water Conservation District and spoke on “Saving Seeds” in May. This time she will tell us how to control garden pests without using harsh chemicals. Call 548-3915 to reserve a seat or join on our Facebook event page.
Janell first began experimenting with organic pest controls when she was a sustainable agriculture Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama and “hordes of insects gobbled up my precious veggies.” Later as an employee at Green Edge Acres, an organic vegetable farm near Athens Ohio, Janell had the opportunity to learn much more about organic pest management.
In her Power Point presentation she will discuss common garden pests and organic control methods for each. Participants will receive handouts with pictures of such pests as aphids, beetles, moths, flies, and worms that do damage - and instructions on how to handle them.
While in the Library stop by the Seed Library - it’s not too late to plant! Refreshments will be served.
