In coordination with the 17th Annual Master Gardener Plant Sale, experience one of two Invasive Plant Walks offered in the morning.
- Two start times: 9:00 am and 11:00 am (30 – 45 minutes long)
- Learn to identify invasive plant species by examining live plants
- We will walk along the parking lot to view landscaped plants and within King Park to view wild growing plants
- Some plant specimens will be marked with colored flagging to help identify the plant’s life-form
- Invasive plant field guides will be available to borrow during the walk
- Please dress appropriately for a short outdoor walk on asphalt and pavement, in sunlight and shade
Optional: You can bring a sample of a plant you suspect is an invasive species. If bearing seed, please contain the seeds by sealing the cut plant sample in a plastic bag from the source location. Please include supplementary photos to help aid in proper identification (the complete plant, flowers, and/or fruits).
Optional: If you own a mobile computing device, please install the Mid-Atlantic Early Detection Network (MAEDN) smartphone app prior to the Invasive Plant Walk. It can be used to identify invasive species and it is available to download free of charge.
