Invasive Plants- Identification, Management and Reclaiming Your Landscape

Invasive Plants- Identification, Management and Reclaiming Your Landscape

 
 October 17th at 11:00am

Join the Sherman Library and the Sherman Conservation Commission for Invasive Plants- Identification, Management and Reclaiming Your Landscape presented by Advanced Master Gardener Michele MacKinnon on Saturday, October 17th at 11:00am.


Invasive plants take the fun out of gardening. They arrive unannounced, thrive on neglect and make a land grab before we realize they’re crashing our garden party. What characteristics define an invasive plant, why are there so many of them, and when we find them in our home landscapes how do we manage them? Several of the worst invasives will be discussed, as well as native plants to grow instead.
