Our presenter, Dr. Elizabeth Little, will help us understand the importance of biodiversity, both above ground and in the soil, in helping to interrupt insect and disease life cycles. She will discuss how to use vegetable production practices, such as composting, crop rotation and cover crops, to promote plant health and lessen problems. So if you are considering growing your own vegetables organically, come to this seminar to learn how to put sustainable practices to work.
