“Gardening with Integrated Pest Management” will be the featured program at the monthly meeting of the Trevose Horticultural Society on Tuesday, May 23rd, 7:00pm at the Bensalem Senior Center, 1850 Byberry Road, Bensalem.
Guest speaker, Rebecca Kluempen, will introduce to home gardeners how to incorporate Integrated Pest Management (IPM) into their flower, fruit and vegetable gardens. IPM is a process that combines different methods to manage pests in a way that minimizes risks to human health and the environment.
Rebecca received her Horticulture degree from DelVal University where she was the DelVal Plant Breeding Club President. While employed at Burpee Seed Company she learned about vegetable based IPM prior to transitioning to ornamentals.
She is currently manager of the IPM department at Medford Nursery in Burlington County, NJ where they specialize in shrubs and perennials. All meetings are open to the public; a donation of $5 is requested from non-members.
