Native vs. Invasive Plants in the Garden
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Adult Services 203-452-2850 X 6 reference@ewml.org
|
| |
|
Invasive Plant Species are tangible examples of how we dramatically alter our environment without even realizing it. Native plants are enjoying a new popularity - and rightly so. While many people think of natives as being just Part of the Background, they are perfectly suited to Starring Roles on the Botanical Stage. Rugged without Belligerence, Delicate without Wimpiness, and Beautiful without being Prima Donnas, all while being Responsible Citizens of the larger Landscape, Natives are the ultimate “Right-Plant-Right-Place”.
Donna Katsuranis returns to discuss some of the most common Invasive species, and some wonderful Native alternatives. Registration required and begins January 28 . Refreshments provided courtesy of the Friends of the Library.
