Four Seasons Gardening Webinar - Invasive Plants - Beyond What's Outlawed (5/16/23)

What makes a plant invasive is a specific set of criteria that can land it on regulated federal and state invasive plant lists. Some plants meet the same criteria but are not deemed invasive. These plants are readily available at most garden centers and found in most of our yards, despite a constant battle of landowners and conservation workers to keep them out of natural areas. During this class, Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator Chris Enroth will describe these species of concern, controlling them in natural areas, and some alternatives for our yards.
