Class Description

Learn about the INSECT HEROES in your garden, who work tirelessly throughout their lives to create the serene beauty of the garden you enjoy every day. INSECTS?! Are you sure? All you have to do is invite the “right” kinds of insects to your garden and most insect problems will be solved. Extension Master Gardener Beth Buffington will help you find the best ways to encourage these beneficial insects that will control many of the perennial pests in our gardens without the use of pesticide. Really it is that easy!

We know there is an ongoing problem with the registration process via Zoom that requires folks to double register. We create the original registration form about a month before the class is scheduled. Unfortunately, the presenters aren’t usually ready to share the class resources until the week of the class.  When we edit the registration email to add the resources, it results in forcing folks who registered before the revised mailing to re-register. Our apologies!

After you register,

  • You will receive an immediate email Zoom confirmation with the link to the class and some registration questions.
    PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION – make sure to check your SPAM folder.
  • You will receive a reminder confirmation with resource materials the day before the class.
  • Please add events@mgnv.org and webmaster@mgnv.org to your address book, so that emails from MGNV do not go into your spam or junk folder.

Registration stays open until the end of the meeting.
