Invasive plant species can be a gardener’s worst nightmare. Plants adapted for harsher conditions can quickly dominate bed, woodland, and lawn areas and crowd out desired species. An intrepid gardener may endlessly pull and cut, only to see the invader return even more successfully! What to do??? In this workshop we’ll learn about the characteristics of invasive plants, the stages of invasions, and how to strategically use a plant’s lifecycle to limit its success. We’ll discuss examples of invasive plant species common in our area and share practical tips to deal with new and established invasions.
