In searching for ideal ornamental plants, sometimes people find that seemingly perfect plants refuse to stay where they are planted, and begin to invade adjacent areas. Attendees at the Don’t Plant a Pest workshop will be taught how to select suitable ornamentals that will save them trouble and expense and help protect Lake Tahoe’s natural environment.

The workshops are all from 5:30-6:30pm. They are free an put on by the Lake Tahoe Master Gardeners.
