Gardening in Louisiana is not for pansies – with the exception of those planted by your front door. Growing a garden requires teachers and students to be physically and mentally active in the garden space.
One of the most challenging aspects of growing a garden in a school setting is pest management. Planting, watering and harvesting are enjoyable gardening activities. We hope this publication helps to make insect control fun – or, at the very least, a little less stressful!
