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 ​celebrate the ​end of the ​fifth successful Science Pub season with learning and conversation, and if you choose, drinks and dinner (with special menu).
