Janet Macunovich - Owner, Perennial Favorites

Is your garden looking tired and worn?  Is it time for a change or two or three?  Janet will lead us through the process of evaluating and deciding how and whether to partially or completely renovate an older garden.

Elly Maxwell - Entomologist, Dow Gardens

Insects are adapted to survive, which means that sometimes we see numbers grow quickly!  Seemingly overnight a healthy plant can become defoliated.  Dealing with pest problems starts with education.  We'll look at common backyard Michigan insect pests, with an emphasis on invasive species, and learn to stay ahead of them.
