Participants are invited to bring your own weeds. If possible, dig and place in a pot or wrap the roots in a plastic bag. More is better; bring the whole thing or more than one. Attach contact information including name and phone number or email address. Keep it fresh. We may not be able to identify every weed during class time but will attempt to follow up in the following days if necessary.

We will also spend some time understanding weed life cycles, how we get so many weeds, and how to avoid and manage them.

We’ve got the typical cool season weeds going great guns now, and crabgrass is beginning to show up for the transition to summer time. We have weeds for all seasons. One way or another we have to deal with them.
