To Spray or Not to Spray? Controlling Invasive Plants (RECORDING) | Part One | Dec. 21, 2023
3 Hrs Virtual | Brian O'Neill and Paul Tukey | Moderated by Larry Weaner
Presenters: Brian O'Neill & Paul Tukey
Moderator: Larry Weaner
Moderator: Larry Weaner
One of the key challenges for landscape practitioners is dealing with invasive species. When discussing solutions with clients, the use of herbicides can be an elephant in the garden room. In Part One of this series, we'll examine and debate the ecological and practical ramifications of both chemical and organic approaches. In Part Two, project case studies will demonstrate specific planting and management techniques for each. Regardless of the path you choose, this program will enhance your ability to "referee" plant populations in your projects more effectively.
