<\/a> plant species in our area, how to identify them, and why and how we should combat them involving the restoration of appropriate native plant species.<\/p>\nInvasive plants range from a minor nuisance to a dire threat to endangered species and entire forests. \u00a0How to tell the difference? \u00a0And what are the best ways to identify and remove the plants that can do the greatest harm? This program will help gardeners identify common invasive plants in Massachusetts and will teach them how to deal with the very worst offenders. \u00a0It will include new techniques developed abroad– and even some “passive\u201d\u00a0methods that use native plants to fight the battle.<\/p>\n
