Spring is the time to set out tender seedlings and plant sprouting seeds that can be quickly decimated by slugs, snails and birds. Gophers are especially active in spring, their breeding season, looking for roots to nibble and pull whole plants underground.

Using the Integrated Pest Management approach, UC Master Gardeners Delise Weir & Trink Praxel will discuss methods to prevent damage before it happens and minimize the damage after an attack.
