Join Tia Silvasy, Florida Friendly Landscaping Agent, in Orange County, FL as she talks about using insectary plants to attract beneficial insects to your garden to prey on your vegetable garden pests. This will help you create a more Florida-Friendly Landscape and reduce your use of pest control products. For example, ladybugs to eat aphids. This class will focus on species of insectary plants to add to your landscape or vegetable garden. You'll learn about different plants that can be planted throughout the landscape including palms, grasses, perennials, and more that will attract beneficial insects. Got pests? Hate chemicals?
