Insect Pests

Insect pests are attracted to our herbs by the very same assets which attract us; their wonderful scent and beauty. They damaging insects can be controlled without the need of spraying toxic insecticides on the herbs which we will harvest to flavor our favorite pizza or pasta dish! Many beneficial insects which are natural enemies of the insect pests in our herb gardens are available online.
