Garden Through the Year with Peggy Singlemann: The Story of Invasive Plants & How to Remove Them

Description

Saturday, June 1 | 9 - 11 am

From the time of early exploration, collecting and sharing newly discovered species has impacted our gardens and, in many cases, our ecosystems as “New and Unusual” plants spread beyond the garden gate to invade our natural areas. Today, few know of the struggles gardeners endured for centuries as they strived to move viable seeds and live plants around the world. In this class with horticulturist and Virginia Home Grown host Peggy Singlemann, learn how the seed catalog came to be, how catalogs influenced our society, and how advances in transportation increased access to different plants. These components help us understand how alien and invasive species were moved around the globe as gardeners, like us, desired to grow a plant no one else had. Peggy will also share guidance on how to remove invasive plants growing in your home landscape. Class will begin indoors before moving out into the Garden to spot examples of invasive plants growing on Garden property, weather-permitting.
