Changing Climates, Changing Gardens: Protecting Plants in the 21st Century

New pests and diseases are
on the rise, and our favorite garden plants are the target. Plant pathologist
and author, Margery Daughtrey, shares her perspective and insights on how
gardeners need to deal with threats such as rose rosette virus, impatiens downy
mildew, boxwood blight and Asian long-horned beetle in a fascinating talk at
The Frelinghuysen Arboretum. Margery is the Senior Extension Associate with the
Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University; she has conducted a research
and extension program on the management of diseases of ornamental plants since
1978, at Cornell’s Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center in
riverhead, NY. This program is eligible for 2.0 Rutgers Master Gardener CEU’s.
