The rains are bringing much needed water to our gardens, but they also sprout pesky weed seeds that hide in the soil. Ridding your garden of these weeds is typically a back- breaking, time-consuming endeavor, but there are techniques that can save you lots of time and effort. Join us to learn about sheet mulching and other simple tricks that you can do now so you can enjoy your garden later. Bring along a sample of one or more of your weeds for the speaker to identify. Please note the earlier start time.
