“The War of the Weeds”

February 13, 2019 By Teri Dunn Chace

An hour-long presentation based on her best-selling Timber Press title How to Eradicate Invasive Plants. Weeds and invasive plants are on the minds of gardeners, landscapers, park and golf-green managers and more. This talk is mainly geared towards the layman: home gardeners or anyone who loves nature.

Teri defines “weed,” and discusses the scope of the problem and what gardeners can realistically expect to achieve in their battle. She then reviews a variety of ways to fight back, saving herbicides for last. Because glyphosate is the most well-known and widely used (and perhaps most controversial) weedkiller, she spends extra time describing what it is and how it works, as well as noting its benefits and risks.

“I highly recommend Teri Dunn Chace’s talk “War of the Weeds” based on her book How to Eradicate Invasive Plants. She introduces the audience to this important and somewhat daunting subject with clear solutions to manage problem plants and initiates a productive discussion concerning invasive plant issues.“ Karin Stanley, Education & Outreach Coordinator, Polly Hill Arboretum
