Saturday, July 20th, 2019

10 AM - 12 PM

Learn how the least invasive methods of pest control including fighting bad bugs with good bugs and encouraging pollinators and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) can benefit your garden.

Master Gardener Presenter: Eliana Bushwalter loves working in her garden and volunteering with UC Master Gardeners when she is not traveling and hiking our many national parks.  She grew up with a love for the outdoors and, as the daughter of an entomologist whose life work focused on integrated pest management (IPM) and biological control, Eliana developed a love of insects and the role they play in our natural world.

A UC graduate in nutrition, Eliana's career as a registered dietician and director of food and nutrition programs included managing food services for the county hospital, Meals on Wheels, Senior Nutrition Programs, childcare programs, the correctional facilities, and the youth facilities, and countywide public health nutrition education programs.
