UVM Pest Report

Stay on top of those pesky garden pests with this informative weekly report from UVM's VPART (Vermont Participatory Research Team) and VVBGA (Vermont Vegetable and Berry Grower Association).

VGN's education and planting timetables are adapted to prevent important pest larvae windows but we can't avoid pests completely.

Shout out to American Meadows Volunteers

A big thank you to American Meadows for their many helping hands at our Thrive teaching garden where they helped us plant seed trials and lay down paper mulch.



They also donated many beautiful perennial plants that we are using to expand our pollinator strips.
