We help people care for their land.

While the rainy days do seem to slow down the time between flower and seed set a little bit, it is important not to let garlic mustard go too long without attention. Garlic mustard is easiest to spot right now, and it pulls out of moist soil more easily. So keep pulling, rain or shine. If you are planning a volunteer garlic mustard pull, let us know and we can help publicize the event. And don't forget to bag and dispose of pulled plants.

And so it begins - garlic mustard will be flowering soon. If you are hand pulling in an area where garlic mustard is mixed in with other plants, the flowers make it easier to spot. Our control efforts began this week. I'll talk about them at the garlic mustard meeting at Menucha on Thursday 4/14 at 7pm. Please join us if you have questions about how to control garlic mustard on your own property, and to learn about control plans along the roads.

Our garlic mustard control work continues again this year. I'll use this blog to update you about where our effort is at. If you are organizing a volunteer event, the blog can help you get the word out. We also will provide a dumpster for garlic mustard disposal this year beginning April 7th. On April 14th, Menucha will host a gathering to discuss garlic mustard at 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Thank you for making our 10^th Annual native plant sale such a success! Over 10,000 native trees, shrubs, and perennials were distributed to the public with the help of over 60 volunteers and our whole staff.
