Does it hurt the plant? Should galls be controlled? If so\, how? These are questions Christine Heycke will address during her Zoom presentation\, Thursday\, June 24th from noon to 1:00 pm. She will explain what plant galls are and provide lots of images of galls that may be seen on walks\, hikes\, and even in one’s own garden and back yard. \nHeycke will discuss life inside the gall\, how galls are both beneficial and detrimental to humans\, the need for gardeners to be aware of galls’ potential effects on ornamental and edible plants\, and if action is needed\, which remedial efforts are most likely to be effective. \nJoin Christine Heycke’s presentation on Zoom using this link \nChristine Heycke became interested in galls after watching a webinar on plant galls some years ago. She began reading books and research articles on galls\, joining the British Plant Gall Society to get more information on various types of galls and correspond with people who study them. As a teenager\, Heycke had a strong interest in plants and insects and wanted to be an entomologist. Instead\, she became an urban planner\, which is not as unrelated to entomology and plant galls as it may sound. Both fields of study look at interactions between organisms and the built or natural environments. Those interactions are what fascinate her. Although she has spent most of her life in the Pacific Northwest\, Heycke lived in Germany for several years and spent a year in South Africa as an exchange student. She is a master gardener with the Jefferson County Extension who enjoys traveling and learning foreign languages. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Talks are currently only being offered by online streaming\, due to current social distancing concerns with COVID-19.

Photo: Gordon Clark\, 2021\nAs gardeners we love to see beetles scurrying over the ground and bees visiting flowers. Although we most often notice the adult forms of insects\, these creatures spend most of their lives as juveniles that are more difficult to notice\, and sometimes even more difficult to identify.

July’s presentation focused on juvenile butterflies\, moths\, flies and other insects that are referred to as worms\, caterpillars or maggots when they are young. Part 2 will focus on grubs\, or the juvenile forms of beetles\, and other juvenile insects that may look a little more complex.  \nLaurel has been a Master Gardener since 2006\, and received her Master’s degree in horticulture with a minor in entomology from Oregon State University in 2011.  \nParticipants should come away knowing a little more about the more cryptic life stages of insects\, where to find keys to identify them\, and what some common ones are in the garden.  \nClick here for a direct link to the presentation via Zoom. \nGreen Thumb Education Series Presentations are held from 12 to 1 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months. Lectures are currently being offered via online streaming only (Zoom).

DESCRIPTION:Are you bewildered by the enormous number of products that are marketed for “improving” your garden soil?

Muriel Nesbitt\, who earned her PhD in genetics from the University of Washing-ton and is a community leader teaching courses\, giving lectures\, and sharing her knowledge\, will discuss several common soil additives\, what they are supposed to do for your garden\, what they really do\, and where they come from. Utility and sustainability of soil amendments are the focus of her class.
