Michael Nadeau, founding member of the Organic Land Care Project, will explore invasive plants, their identification, removal and control strategies for gardeners and homeowners on Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1 at the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge. On Friday, his lecture at the botanical garden will focus on plant identification, removal and control strategies of common invasives.
