Controlling Invasive Plants In Your Yard: How to Make Your Efforts Count

Ridding your yard of non-native invasive plants can feel like a modern day sisyphean task. So why bother? Because removing invasive plants saves our trees, allows locally native plants to re-emerge, and helps restore habitat for wildlife. 

Join VCE Master Gardener Amy Crumpton to discuss how to identify a number of invasive vines and fast spreading invasive perennials and ways to remove them. She will explain how understanding the various growth habits of invasive plants can help you calendarize your removal tasks and lead to better eradication results over time. She will describe tools that she finds effective and the resources that have sprung up to support the invasive plant removal movement.
