Bugs of Tennessee: Plant Pests

Learn how to identify symptoms and signs of many common insects and the damage that they cause in the garden. And then find out what to do about it! Attendees will also learn to recognize beneficial insects, those that control other harmful or annoying members of the insect order. Remember, not all bugs are bad! Bringing in an insect (or its damage) for ID is encouraged!
