Gardeners love earthworms...but not all earthworms are good for our gardens! Be “introduced” to the invasive species known as theAsian Jumping Worm, how to recognize them, and what, if anything, can be done to combat their damage. Advanced Master Gardener Nicole Christensen will walk you through what to look for, and every stage of this pest’s life cycle. 

Nicole Christensen has been a resident of  Sandy Hook for over 25 years. She has gardened since childhood, in several states and across numerous planting zones. In 2015, Nicole became a Certified Master Gardener, and in 2017 an Advanced Certified Master Gardener. Since 2010, she has been writing professionally, blogging as the “Suburban Farmgirl” for the internationally-published, organic lifestyle magazine MaryJanesFarm. Nicole considers her life’s motto to be “bloom where you are planted.”

This event is in person only.
