Caleb will start by sharing strategies used to minimize the presence of pests from the outset using cultural practices such as promoting the presence of “beneficials”. But sometimes pests show up anyway, despite our best efforts or during particularly challenging growing seasons. So, Caleb will also discuss what can be done when pests emerge.\u00a0Click here to learn more<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0About the speaker: <\/strong>Caleb has a bachelor\u2019s degree in plant biology and sustainable agriculture from Hampshire College and he completed his PhD from the University of Vermont, where he studied the fatty acid content of storage crops. He farmed organic vegetables in Vermont for nine years before graduate school. He also has experience with organic heirloom seed production and organic orchard maintenance on farms in New Zealand.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"science-for-self-reliance-gardening-with-responsible-pest-management-beneficial-habitat","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-05-20 17:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"05","day":"20","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-05-20 18:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"05","day":"20","hour":"18","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-05-20 21:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"05","day":"20","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-05-20 22:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"05","day":"20","hour":"22","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0"]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Beginner-friendly","slug":"beginner-friendly","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":585,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"These classes are either designed for beginners, or are appropriate for community members of all levels of knowledge and experience with the topic at-hand.","parent":0,"count":103,"filter":"raw","id":585,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/585","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Community","slug":"community","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":354,"filter":"raw","id":44,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/44","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Crops","slug":"crops","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":47,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":104,"filter":"raw","id":47,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/47","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Gardening","slug":"gardening","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":42,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":243,"filter":"raw","id":42,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/42","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Homesteading","slug":"homesteading","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":481,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":267,"filter":"raw","id":481,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/481","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Pollinators","slug":"pollinators","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":48,"filter":"raw","id":46,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/46","collection":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":79482,"author":"101","status":"publish","date":"2025-04-01 15:06:42","date_utc":"2025-04-01 19:06:42","modified":"2025-04-01 15:06:42","modified_utc":"2025-04-01 19:06:42","url":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/venue\/curtis-memorial-library\/","venue":"Curtis Memorial Library","slug":"curtis-memorial-library","address":"23 Pleasant St","city":"Brunswick","province":"Maine","zip":"04011","stateprovince":"Maine","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.mofga.org?id=79482","global_id_lineage":["www.mofga.org?id=79482"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"is_virtual":false,"virtual_url":null,"virtual_video_source":""},{"id":86465,"global_id":"www.mofga.org?id=86465","global_id_lineage":["www.mofga.org?id=86465"],"author":"121","status":"publish","date":"2026-02-04 13:50:49","date_utc":"2026-02-04 18:50:49","modified":"2026-05-04 11:57:58","modified_utc":"2026-05-04 15:57:58","url":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/event-calendar\/climate-smart-garden-design-3\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/www.mofga.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/86465","title":"Climate-Smart Garden Design (Part 3)","description":" **You can still register even if you missed part 1!
