MADISON, N.Y. — Colgate Community Garden and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County are continuing the Garden Series with Workshop Two: Scouting and Best Pest Management. The workshop is taking place on Sunday, June 11th, 2017 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm and hosted by Common Thread Community Farm located at 3424 Lake Moraine Rd, Madison, NY 13402.
Whether you have a home garden or a small farm, both come with their fair shares of joy and pain. Along with the excitement of the growing season comes the difficulty of dealing with common pests from insects to blight. By understanding how to spot potential damage, prevent further destruction and manage common infestations, you can implement a full pest control strategy wherever you are growing and reap the benefits during harvest.
Garden Series future workshops are as followed:
- August 27, 2017: Proper Harvest and Post-Harvest Handling (Food Safety Modernization Act)
- September 24, 2017: Soil Health and Composting
Participation is free! To register contact: Alicia Luhrssen at (315) 684-3001 extension 101 or email aml439@cornell.edu.
