Thursday, May 9, 7:00 pm – Growers Clinic, “Diseases and Pests!” With the summer showers, increased humidity – those creepy crawlies are coming. Don’t wait! It’s time for prophylactic measures. Come to the clinic to learn how to prevent disease and how to get rid of particular pests that may try to attack your plants.
