About The Class
This entertaining class will teach you many different ways to control unwanted plants in your garden without resorting to herbicide sprays as a first choice. Mulches, groundcovers, hand tools, native plants and just some of the ideas that will be covered with a light hearted and fun way of looking at volunteer plants. Included will be descriptions of plants to avoid due to their invasive nature, weeds to learn to love, and a few weeds that are so noxious they must be eradicated immediately. The goal is to arm the gardener with different ideas, tools and attitudes about those unwanted weeds in your outdoor space.
