Beneficial Insect Habitat Open House
Cornell AgriTech Vegetable Research Farm, Geneva, NY
Location: Cornell AgriTech Vegetable Research Farm, Geneva, NY
For
the past six years, NYSIPM has been cultivating perennial grasses and
wildflowers that feed and attract beneficial insects. Our annual Open
House is the perfect opportunity to gain insight into creating your own
habitat, learn about the successes and setbacks we’ve encountered along
the way and find out what types of insects are “beneficial” to your
outdoor space.
This
year’s program will also include a special focus on the seeds that were
used in the establishment of our habitat, with guided explorations by
Petra Page-Mann from Fruition Seeds in Naples, NY. Explorations begin at
3:45, 4:45 and 5:45.
This event is free and open to the public.
