Join WSU Clallam County Extension Regional Horticulture Specialist Laurel Moulton for the Green Thumb Education Series presentation “Keep Pests at Bay the Green Way,” Thursday, April 16th at the Vern Burton Community Center Meeting Rooms, 308 E. 4th Street in Port Angeles from 1:00 – 2:15 p.m.

During the presentation, you will learn how to implement an IPM system, why it’s important and what resources are available to help you. Laurel will also share how to:

• Nurture a resilient garden that requires less work.
• Choose the least harmful management actions.
• Develop a holistic approach to addressing problems that do arise.
• Improve your observation skills in the garden.
• Choose and use pesticides in the least harmful manner.

Laurel is an insect enthusiast and a self-professed “lazy gardener,” along with being an expert in Integrated Pest Management. She has been a Master Gardener since 2006 and currently coordinates the Master Gardener Program in Clallam County. Laurel acts as a regional IPM specialist in Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap Counties. With 25 years in horticulture and botany, she has educated home gardeners and small farms, produced native plants for restoration, and conducted research on ecosystems and agricultural systems. She loves insects and helping others love (or at least understand) them too. She holds a master’s degree in Horticulture Systems with a minor in entomology from Oregon State University.

The Green Thumb Education Series, sponsored by the Washington State University Clallam County Master Gardeners, is held in person typically on Thursdays from January through May, and September through November. Scheduled presentations are subject to change.
