An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan is a tool for growers to control pests in a timely, safe, and efficient manner and a key to producing and maintaining healthy plants. An IPM plan includes sanitation and prevention, conservation, and augmentation methods using beneficial organisms. Participants will explore, discuss, and begin work on individual IPM plans.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the history and methodology of botanical cyanotype prints and create our own. Cyanotypes are an early photographic process using light-sensitive materials and sunlight to create unique and striking ‘blue prints’ or ‘sun prints.’ The process lends itself beautifully to the documentation of botanical specimens, both scientifically and artistically.
