Description

Organic in the City is an urban environmental education and entertainment series at Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. The program is geared toward professionals and urbanites near Downtown Dallas and surrounding areas who crave a little more ‘green’ in their lives.

September 2, 2008: Integrated Pest Management

Got pests? Don’t despair! There are a growing number of low-impact insecticide products and methods to keep insects at bay. Dr. Mike Merchant, entomologist with Texas AgriLife Extension, will show you an assortment of products that control pests while keeping you and your beneficial garden visitors safe. Come with questions about your toughest pest problems.

Dr. Mike Merchant is the urban entomology specialist (A bug expert) at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas. He helped develop the Two-Step Method that is now being used throughout the South to control the red imported fire ant. Currently, Mike has several research projects attempting to find more effective methods for controlling subterranean termites, fire ants and venomous spiders.

Norma Jean / Haste The Day / The Showdown / MyChildren MyBride / Children 18:3 Granted, you probably have to wear your tight jeans to gain entry to this show, but at least it's for Norma Jean. If you occasionally have the hankering for unbridled screaming set to a beat, this Atlanta quintet is your band. Basically, they're the band all the little screamo kids wish they were. Beware: the teenagers own Deep Ellum tonight. More info
