Come join us as we tackle garlic mustard, an easy to pull invasive plant species that is widespread throughout the park. At this time of the year it starts to develop seed pods, which is a primary way of re-populating. Everyone will go home with recipe card for a pesto sauce that can be made from harvesting these invasives (YUM!)  We will be meeting in the parking lot of the Bates House at Frank Melville Memorial Park.
