Invasive Plants in My Garden
May 1 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 pm
ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR
Many landscaped yards feature non-native plants that may become invasive, outcompeting the native species essential to local insects and birds. Some of these aggressive “bio-bullies” even escape into the wild, disrupting ecosystems far beyond backyard borders. This engaging workshop explores how to identify common invasive ornamentals, recommends native alternatives that are both beautiful and beneficial, and shares effective strategies for controlling invasives. Discover how thoughtful plant choices can support pollinators and birds while transforming your yard into a thriving, ecologically balanced space.
