The Times-Dispatch Gardening Blog, which is written by staff at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, recently posted information about a new environmentally conscious pest control approach being taken by the popular North Richmond destination:

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden has implemented Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in our ongoing effort to be environmentally conscious.

IPM is an effective, environmentally friendly approach to pest management that relies on a combination of commonsense practices.

The goal of IPM is see a reduction of pests to acceptable numbers with the least environmental impact. Our goal is not the total elimination but rather the successful management of pests at levels that are acceptable and promote plant/public health.


Details on the specifics of Integrated Pest Management are covered in the full post.
