Welcome the winter holiday season with this festive workshop. Learn how to select, showcase, and maintain plants such as amaryllis, paperwhites, and Christmas cactus.

IDENTIFY AND CONTROL NON-NATIVE INVASIVE PLANTS IN FALL
Tree Steward Tim Maywalt will present this two-part class by Zoom. Managing the invasive plants that are overtaking our green spaces is a challenge. But any of us can do it with the knowledge to identify and treat them. Part 1 will show you how to identify about 30 common invasive plants in the Virginia Piedmont. Part 2 covers a wide range of options for treating them.
Ladies, thanks so much for the program, Nature’s Cornucopia of Holiday Plants and Decorations. It was very informative and much enjoyed by me. The greenery assortment was astounding and everything was so very well organized. This event was a pleasure to attend.
