Save the Wildflowers Work DaysJune Work Days:
June 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 2010.
(Times will be scheduled as needed on these dates.)
Location: Johnny Appleseed Parks.
Garlic Mustard is a biennial plant from Europe that is a prolific seeder. Seeds can lay dormant for 10 years. Garlic Mustard secretes chemicals into the soil which are toxic to our native spring wildflowers. If left unchecked, Garlic Mustard can soon dominate the forest floor and destroy the ecology of our woodlands in the Park District.
The dates listed are for garlic mustard pulls at the parks. Call to sign up. You will be called with details about each work session.
