Have you ever noticed your pumpkin vine wilting, even though you've been watering it the right amount? Join MU Extension Field Specialist in Horticulture, Eliza Pessereau, at Seeds of Hope Farm (a division of the Community Action Agency of St. Louis, Inc) to learn about how to naturally and organically control the pesky insects (like the squash vine borer) that pester our warm season cucurbit crops, like pumpkins, squash, cucumbers and melons.

In this workshop you will:

- Learn insect ID and pest life cycles

- Practice scouting for insects around the farm

- Discuss organic control methods
