CLASSES AND TALKS
3/2/2017 Thursday 7-8:30pm at Rochester Civic Garden Center
The Threat of Invasive Plants and How to Control them ( Registration required )
Elimination of non-native invasive plants is both challenging and imperative. In addition to the fact that invasives degrade the aesthetics of your property and reduce its value, today they pose the primary threat to populations of the song birds, butterflies and all other types of wildlife we enjoy. Invasives have characteristics that allow them to grow almost anywhere and dominate their surroundings to the exclusion of native plants. Instructor Jim Engel has been working in the field of invasive plant control for many years, with State and Federal agencies, not-for-profit groups, and private landowners. In this class you will learn how to identify invasives as well as various strategies for efficient and effective control.

Creating a Woodland Garden - Native Perennials and Shrubs for use in Shade ( Registration required )
Finding plants that will not only grow in shade, but thrive there, can be a challenge. A large percentage of our native flora has evolved to grow in the forest understory, and these plants are perfectly adapted to grow, flower and multiply in shade. Discover the great diversity of native perennials and shrubs that you can use in these challenging shady spots, and learn how you can create natural plant communities that will provide habitat for birds and other wildlife.
Rochester Civic Garden Center is located in Warner Castle in Highland Park, 5 Castle Park, Rochester, NY 14620 (585) 473-5130
