Beginner’s Stewardship: Native vs. Invasive Plant Workshop

Are you interested in adding plants to your garden, but don’t know which ones are “good” or “bad”? Are you overwhelmed by terms like “native”, “non-native”, and “invasive”? Join this Native vs. Invasive Plants class to learn more about the beneficial plants Duke Farms implements into our restored habitats. Participants will learn about the importance of native plants in ecological restoration for both wildlife and people alike, as well as how to use field guides to help identify some common native and invasive plants.

• Native vs. Invasive Plant Workshop (Jul 11)
• Vegetation Monitoring Workshop (Aug 8)
• Plant Survivability Workshop (Sep 12)
• Native Seed Harvesting Workshop (Oct 10)
