Upstate Program: Going Native to Attract Beneficials
Join the Upstate Chapter on Tuesday, July 20, at 7pm for a timely presentation on attracting beneficial insects. Drew Jeffers, our presenter, is a Spartanburg County Extension agent.
Join the virtual gathering at 6:30 pm for socializing. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm hosted by Dan Whitten.
Jeffers has wide ranging experience. He says, “I am a native of the mountains of eastern Tennessee. I have a B.S. in Agriculture and Plant and Soil Science, and M.S. in Plant and Soil Science from the University of Tennessee. My thesis project focused on woody tree and shrub liner production. I have worked as an herbaceous perennial grower for Zelenka Nurseries, a production manager for Brussel’s Bonsai Nursery, a bedding plant grower for Van Wingerden International, and an Integrated Pest Management(IPM)coordinator for Costa Farms – Costa Carolina.
Chat with your fellow SCNPS members and learn how to draw more beneficial insects into your landscape.
