Where: The Cheshire Senior Center
240 Maple Ave, Cheshire, CT 06410
Event: AOS Webinar by Ron McHatton on Pests and DiseasesOur upcoming meeting is on the Calendar for January 8th at the Cheshire Senior Center, since the weather can be inclement this time of year, we have opted to use one of the many educational AOS Webinars in place of a live speaker. The one we have chosen is a talk presented by the AOS Chief Education and Science Officer Ron McHatton, on Pests, Diseases, and Troubleshooting Problems- Module 5 of the Masters Gardener Series. It has been a while since we have had a talk on something as practical as identifying and treating problems in our collections. This is a broad overview on how to properly manage pests and diseases, which goes into a fair amount of detail on how to deal with some of the most common ones you might encounter in your collection. I enjoyed it and even took note of some useful information that I am going to apply to my spray rotation program. We are planning to meet in person at the Cheshire Senior Center to view the presentation, should the weather threaten snow or icy conditions the night of the meeting, the board will decide on the Monday ahead of our meeting date if we will be switching to a virtual meeting format.

There will be a show table, so don’t forget to bring along your blooming plants for the show table. It’s always exciting to see what’s coming into bloom, looking forward to an awesome show table!
