Invasive Plants of Central Florida
So, what’s the big deal about invasive plants? They are often beautiful and easy to grow. What’s not to like?
If you want to learn “What’s the big deal?”, be sure to attend the Dade City Garden Club’s March general membership meeting, where Jim Moll, Master Gardener Volunteer Manager with Pasco County UF/IFAS Extension, will tell us what they are, where they come from, why they are a problem and what we can do.
Jim has worked at the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College (PA) and Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales Florida. For 13 years he served as Urban Horticulture Extension Agent for Hernando County. Jim now serves the residents of Pasco County since 2013, first as the Florida-Friendly Landscaping TM Program Manager and currently as Master Gardener Volunteer Manager, by answering gardening questions and teaching Florida-Friendly gardening classes, training Master Gardener Volunteers and professionals in the Green Industries Best Management Practices.
The March 21st program meeting is open to the public and will be held at The Dade City Garden Club at 13630 5th Street; Dade City, FL, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. Light refreshments will be served.
