$\u201cW**d ID: What Weeds are Saying and How to Listen,\u201d by Michelle Fronk Schukle$

Takes place in Room 45
(Half-hour social, then lecture at 6:30 p.m.)
Michelle Fronk Schukle will explore the weeds in your garden—why they’re there, what they can teach us, and how some can even benefit other plants, flowers, herbs, trees, and shrubs. Instead of reaching for pesticides, Michelle shows how we can decode their message and rethink our relationship with weeds.
