Weeds – the Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful!
The simplest definition of a weed is a ‘plant in a place where it is not wanted’! But where did
these weeds come from, and why? And now that they are here what do we do with them?
Some weedy species are edible, some are medicinal, and some are good habitat plants. Many
weedy species have multiple reproductive strategies which make them very hardy plants.
Certain truly invasive non-native species have proven to be very costly mistakes because
of the way in which they can destroy the bio-diversity of delicate natural environments.
In this free class we’ll discuss a number of different species and talk about how to
either manage or eradicate problematic plants in order to restore sensitive
native habitats. We’ll also sample edible wild plants, and learn about some
of the valuable medicinal plants found in wild and disturbed sites.

Plant from Pieces! Cloning and Divisions
Did you know that plants posses ‘Toti-potency’? It’s just another one of nature’s
miracles – in that every living cell of a plant has the potential to grow all the
other functional parts of a whole new plant! These methods of propagation are
in essence ‘cloning’ which has advantages, but also some drawbacks.
In this free class we’ll look at a number of different plant families and species to learn
about specific methods and mediums, and the critical timing necessary to get the
best results from cuttings. We’ll also discuss the important life support systems
necessary for a cutting to grow into a self-sufficient healthy plant. And we’ll practice
one of the simplest methods of propagation by dividing some perennial plants:
You’ll learn which species respond the best to this method, and when to do it!
