Event: Biocontrol & Beneficial Insects presented by Ron Whitehurst
Place: Sepulveda Garden Center 16633 Magnolia Blvd, Encino, CA 91436
Ron Whitehurst is a specialist in biological pest control and restoration of agro-ecosystems.
His lively discussions about insect lifecycles and predator-prey relationships make the principles of biocontrol easy to understand
for both laypersons and technical audiences.
He is a member of the California Sustainable Pest Management Work Group, working with 25 stakeholders to develop a pathway to
a future with less use of toxic pesticides.
Ron has promoted organic methods of farming and gardening for over 40 years.
Since 1997, he has taught how to create and manage ecosystems which minimize and control pests using insect habitats, cultural
methods, beneficial insects, and soft pesticides when needed.
An avid gardener, he loves making compost, building soil, and creating bio-intensive food producing landscapes.
There will be a small plant sale after the presentation has ended.
Also, it’s potluck time again! Everyone please bring a snack which can be shared after the presentation.

Event: Patio Tree & Small Space Gardening for the Kitchen, with Ashley Irene of heirloompotager.com
Place: Sepulveda Garden Center 16633 Magnolia Blvd, Encino, CA 91436
Ashley calls herself an artist and her canvases are landscapes.
She believes the most beautiful landscapes are created with edible plants rather than traditional ornamental varieties — or at
the very least using a combination of the two.
She is a Certified Garden Designer with over 30 years of gardening experience. Online, she is the “Heirloom Potager.”
She designs year-round, seasonal kitchen gardens for home cooks and culinary professionals in Southern California.
Each design is unique, but they all include heirloom fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers which can be harvested for fresh and
healthy meals. From container gardens to raised beds to full garden landscapes, she has a garden design waiting to please
your taste buds.
All members, please bring something to share for the potluck following this presentation.
