Eyes were wide open as Rick Sawyer gave a presentation about shade plants. He also recommended milorganite to keep deer away. See his website at Fernwoodnursery.com.

Japanese Beetle Combat

A dust called Sevin-5 can be sprinkled on plants. It works.

From the internet:

"Sevin® is suitable for virtually any outdoor insect problem. Use Sevin on vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, trees, shrubs, and lawns (granules and dust products only). It doesn't penetrate plant tissue and it is easily broken down by the environment. Sevin has been widely tested. With over 1,000 toxicology studies conducted to date, you are assured of a proven product. Professionals have trusted Sevin for more than 30 years. And you should too."

Lee Schneller Speaks

Perreniels galore for all times was the focus of Lee's talk. Tree Guard to combat animal damage and Serrenade to prevent fungal and bacterial attack of leaves were some of the indorsements she made after testing and using.
