The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Association hosts the Lunch & Learn April 10th. Come learn about Good Bugs/Bad Bugs in the garden, presented by Elizabeth “Wizzie” Brown.
Ms. Brown is an Integrated Pest Management Program Specialist in Travis County. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Entomology from the The Ohio State University in 1996 and her Masters in Entomology at Texas A&M University in 1999.
When you find insects in your garden, your first instinct might be to destroy them, but that’s not always the best action. Of the 1.5 million known insect species in the world, more than 97% are beneficial to gardens, or simply benign. That leaves less than 3% that are agricultural and nuisance pests.
