Yard & Garden Lecture Series 2026
Working with Nature: Smarter, Safer Pest Management
Jenny Glass
Let’s face it — pests can make gardening a real challenge. Jenny Glass, plant diagnostician for the WSU-Puyallup Plant and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory, will share practical strategies for resilience: choosing hardy plants, improving soil health, and adapting to changing conditions. In addition, she’ll highlight different gardening practices that help avoid pest problems, and showcase some of the good (and surprisingly interesting) organisms that are in your yard that are eager to help.
Get inspired with landscaping and gardening insights, connecting with our forests, water conservation, birding, and pest management.
