Description
"To Spray or Not to Spray" Insects are part of gardening. Some we love, others become issues for us. Infestations don't come often but when they do, gardeners can get pretty concerned and excited. Larsen will discuss some of the considerations in spraying and help gardeners decide when to spray for pests and when not to. Pam Larsen has lived here for 19 years. She has always grown gardens organically, but has been able to grow more, study, and learn more about it since moving to Sequim. Shortly after arriving, she created the “Rainshadow Planting Guide” to help gardeners know when the best planting times are in Sequim’s unique climate. In 2006 she started Sequim Organic Gardeners and in 2007 was one of the founders of the Community Organic Gardens of Sequim. She has been teaching organic gardening classes ever since. She also engages in plant research in order to translate science into terms gardeners can understand in order to grow better organically.
