Garlic mustard is a greedy invader. Smells and tastes like garlic, has small white 4 petaled flowers on a stalk in its second year. Find out how to recognize and kill it!
Come out, enjoy the spring woods, and keep them healthy. We’d love to have your help, and besides, you can we have quite a bit of fun. Other events may be planned after these two, so contact us if you’d like to keep informed. Think about adopting a plot, your very own piece of the earth that you can save from this invasive species.
