What’s in my garden? Friend or foe?

Nancy McDonald, Master Gardener, will shed a new light on important small creatures that visit and sometimes nibble on our plants.  Nancy calls her garden “a happy place” and enjoys checking out the many garden “bugs” who visit while asking herself first if these visitors are welcome guests (which the majority are) or unwelcome pests? It’s important to realize that enticing and keeping beneficial bugs may involve also having a few pests in the garden for them to prey on. In her garden, Nancy now incorporates plants which will attract, feed and provide a habitat for beneficial bugs creating an insectary garden to help with those unwelcome guests.
