Quarterly Meeting including Ask Ally Workshop: Invasive & Aggressive Plant ID and Management - Bring Your Problem Plants
White Pelican Gym, Court 3 at Pelican Park, 63350 Pelican Dr, Mandeville, LA, 70448 Map
Public Welcome Will be Recorded Free Event Chapter Meeting Program/Speaker Presentation Hands-On/How-To Workshop Seed/Plant Swap Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains
First Quarterly Membership and Public Meeting of 2025. Presentation by Ally Harding. Have a problem plant that you'd like advice on? Grab as complete a plant as you can from your space, bringing the root, stem, and leaves if possible. Put the plant in a container to help make sure we're not propagating problem plants! A tied garbage bag would be great for this. We'll avoid accidentally distributing seeds and cuttings by doing this. If you have success dealing with problem plants, please bring your tips and tricks to help us battle our way back to more native spaces.
