#BrunswickME - Science for #SelfReliance: #Gardening with Responsible #PestManagement + #BeneficialHabitat

May 20, 2026
5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

#CurtisMemorialLibrary
23 Pleasant St
Brunswick, #Maine 04011

Free

"This event was originally scheduled for April 16. The date has been updated to May 20.

Join #MOFGA’s Crop Specialist, Caleb Goossen, for a discussion on #organic management of common pests in the #VegetableGarden. Caleb will start by sharing strategies used to minimize the presence of pests from the outset using cultural practices such as promoting the presence of '#beneficials'. But sometimes pests show up anyway, despite our best efforts or during particularly challenging growing seasons. So, Caleb will also discuss what can be done when pests emerge."
