Non-Native Invasive Plants-Impact and Control

Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Non-Native Invasive Plants-Impact and Control

Bob Gale

Invasive plants in the landscape often leave gardeners confused and overwhelmed. Some invasives are smothering our trees and threatening to take over the world, and some are still for sale in garden centers. Bob Gale, Ecologist & Public Lands Director for MountainTrue, will discuss the ecological problems presented by these non-native invasive plants and provide strategies and methods for dealing with them in backyards, gardens, and larger acreages. He will also provide resources for selecting native tree, shrub, and groundcover alternatives.
