This week, the Helpful gardeners are in the weeds.... but not for long! Let's all agree that weeding isn't the most exciting garden chore, but it is essential and should be done regularly. The gardeners will talk about about what defines a weed, various techniques, and will explore our responsibility toward limiting noxious weeds in our local regions.
