Additional Spring Session
Nature’s Uninvited Guests: The Impact of Invasive Plants | April 29
Sometimes, plants pop up in the yard that weren’t planted. Many gardeners don’t even notice at first or think the flower is cute, so they leave it. But in no time, it’s everywhere. Learn what makes a plant invasive versus aggressive, some common-to-Illinois invasives, and what to do about them. Presenter: Jamie Viebach, horticulture educator, Illinois Extension. Register at go.illinois.edu/4SGInvasives.
