Jessica Walliser, Organic Gardening Expert

Walliser, a former organic market grower, will share tips and techniques for growing a high-yielding, beautiful vegetable garden without a lot of fuss. Favorite varieties for organic growing as well as topics from amending your soil to pest control will be discussed. Attendees will be taught about the 4-cycle crop rotation schedule and some simple ways to attract beneficial insects to the garden.

Walliser co-hosts “The Organic Gardeners” on KDKA radio in Pittsburgh. She is a contributing editor for Organic Gardening magazine where you can read her ‘Good Bug, Bad Bug’ feature in each issue. Walliser writes two weekly gardening columns for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and is a regular contributor to Fine Gardening, Urban Farm, Popular Farming, Hobby Farms and Hobby Farm Home magazines.
