Topic

What is it? How do I get rid of it? What is wrong with my plant?

This seminar will cover how to identify some common (and not so common) insects, diseases, weeds, and other quirks hiding in the landscape. Actual live samples (preserved) will be displayed. During this “show and tell” style presentation, Conway will review some of the horticultural practices used to deal with these situations with less use of chemical sprays. Conway will also share tips on how to diagnose plant problems.
