CSSA October Gathering 2023

Hope you can join us at the CSSA October Gathering! For those unable to attend the hall we will still be Live Streaming to the CSSA Members-Only Group and Zooming (details on how to join can be found below).

This month we have short talks and a panel forum focussing on Pests and Diseases. So before you put the flamethrower to your favourite plant because you can't take the mealy bug, scale, mildew etc. etc. anymore, come along with your questions and ideas so we can share together how we keep our beloved plants safe!
