Planting a crop cultivates a population of plants. Join Sylvan Kaufman, Ph.D. to learn the basics of population growth and how growth is affected by competition for resources and insect pests. Some plants grow better together than others, and a little knowledge of ecology can help in planning a great garden.

This program is part of the four-part Ecology for Gardeners series that also includes Plants and the Environment (March 24), Pollination and IPM (April 7), and Healthy Soils (April 21).

Fee: $10 members, $15 general public; $35 members, $50 general public for all four sessions in the Ecology for Gardeners series
