It is one thing to battle the woods encroaching on our yards, but have you found that certain characters are particularly good at establishing dominance in your garden? We’ll take a brief look at some of the typical invasives of the area and discuss different approaches to managing each one. Then we’ll have to look at new ones to arrive any day. You’ll want to greet them personally. Though a bit of a sad topic, Burnsie’s humor will keep you upbeat and optimistic as he presents approaches for dealing with each of these species on your property and give you hope that you can have your native plants and eat them too!

Refreshments will be served!
RSVP appreciated.
