What’s all the fuss? Botanists, ecologists, horticulturists, and conservation professionals are united in their concern about invasive plants, but there is still some confusion about what they are and what to do about them. In this two part, New England Wild Flower Society class at Garden in the Woods on October 20 and 21, you will study the basic ecological problems created by these aggressive species and the complicated issues involved in controlling them. You will learn to identify many of New England’s invasive species through images, specimens, and a local field visit. Bring a bag lunch and a hand lens; wear waterproof shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Friday session from 6:30 – 8:30, Saturday from 10 – 4, both led by Ted Elliman at Garden in the Woods in Framingham. $124 for NEWFS members, $145 for nonmembers.
