Science Pub Celebrates Spring at New Venue

Past event
Apr 3, 2016

In celebration of spring, this season's last Science Pub will take place at beautiful Mountaintop Inn in Chittenden with specialy-priced dinner menu.

April 3, 4 p.m.: PLANTS WE LOVE TO HATE
With Mary Droege, Biology Laboratory and Greenhouse Manager and adjunct faculty, Castleton University
Mountaintop Inn, 195 Mountain Top Rd, Chittenden

Invasive, exotic, weed!
They are our most unloved plants, but are they one and the same?
Non-native plants range from the common dandelion to the towering poison parsnip – as well as to apples and roses. Mary Droege, a botanist with expertise in ecological management and restoration, will lead us in a discussion on good and bad non-native plants, their incursion into Vermont, and our response, as well as the limits of our abilities to manage nature.

Everyone invited to help us celebrate the fifth successful Science Pub season with learning and conversation, drinks and dinner, if you choose.
