Plant Choices – native, nativar, exotic, or invasive?

Do you know what’s growing in your gardens? As gardeners review the growth of plants this spring at home and at vacation properties, Cathy Kavassalis asks us to look carefully at those plants that are now listed as 'invasive' in our region and to consider replacing them. Learn why and what alternatives are available.

Cathy has assembled a list of resources that are referenced during her talk. Click here to view the PDF.
