Garlic Mustard Pulls:
Garlic mustard is an herbaceous biennial named because its leaves smell like garlic. It was brought over from Europe in the mid-1800’s, most likely for food or medicinal purposes. One plant can produce hundreds of seeds, which has aided it in becoming a widespread invasive plant in Kentucky that is crowding out native plants. It’s an easy plant to pull and a small group of people can cover a lot of ground in just a few hours. Help us get rid of this plant at Floracliff. Please call ahead to register at 859-351-7770. Water and snacks will be provided.

June 7th @10:00 a.m.
