Phenology Garden

— filed under:

In 2004 the Phenology Garden, a state-wide research project coordinated by Dan Herms, OSU Extension Entomologist, OARDC Wooster, and Denise Ellsworth, OSU Extension- Summit Co., Horticultural Educator, began in Coshocton County. The trees and shrubs planted in the OSU Phenology Garden network sites (34 sites, in all) will monitored for the first and full bloom, which will assist with identifying insect activity by the amount of "growing degree days". Knowing an insects life cycle can encourage more effective pest control and also saves in time, money and energy. Marcia and Jim have been monitoring and collecting data for this project.
