UCONN Master Garden Talk: Weeds with Benefits: Reframing the Unwanted in Haddam

A UCONN Master Gardener Class with Jacqueline Crepeau
Open to the public

What makes a plant a “weed,” and what are we losing when we pull them? This class explores the ecological, culinary, and medicinal value of so-called weeds. Many are native or naturalized plants with overlooked roles in our gardens and landscapes. We’ll also cover responsible foraging, safe disposal practices to limit the spread of invasives, and how to reimagine “weeds” as allies in pollinator support and soil health. Resources will be provided. Snacks made with featured plants will be available at the end of the class to share in a potluck-style format.
