Learn about Weeds in Vegetable and Flower Gardens

press release: Join Rooted and UW-Extension  at Aldo Leopold Park for this free workshop to learn about common weeds that show up in an annual vegetable garden. Learn their effects and different management strategies for dealing with different weeds.  Examples will be shown in demonstration plots at the local community garden so that participants can learn how to identify the different annual and perennial weeds they may face in the future.

No equipment is needed. This is a family-friendly event and children should be accompanied by an adult during the event. 

Advanced registration is requested. REGISTER ONLINE or (608) 266-4711
