Connecticut gardens can face several common pests throughout the growing season. Keep an eye out for aphids, which cluster on new growth, and slugs or snails, often leaving trails and chewing holes in leaves, especially hostas.

If you spot any unwelcome visitors, understanding the pest is the first step towards effective, garden-friendly management.
